@puzzmo.com is running a mini crossword series that teaches you tricks to interpret clues and I love it. Brooke is doing such a great job building on each lesson and honestly, it's both fascinating and kinda making me want to learn how to build(?) crosswords myself.

This monday we launched Circuits, designed by Jacob Land, on Puzzmo ( www.puzzmo.com/play/circuits/ ). Circuits is an amazing game that was first shared with me by Josh Wardle. As soon as I played it I knew that Puzzmo would be perfect to help get the news out about this incredible game.
