Why these pages exist

Puzzle content should have someone standing behind it.

Named people, not a faceless brand

Every puzzle site, app, and book in the network is made by two people. Knowing who they are makes it easier to judge whether the work is worth your time.

Relevant, practical experience

The puzzles are built by someone who has written the solvers and generators behind them, and tested by someone who plays them before anyone else does.

A stable place to check

Author credits appear across the network. These profiles are the permanent home for those names, so a byline elsewhere can always be traced back here.

How the work divides

Two roles that meet in the middle.

Brian works on the technical half of the network: playable boards, puzzle generators, solvers, hint systems, printable output, responsive layouts, and the code that keeps a puzzle page working properly on whatever device it opens on.

Karan works on the half that decides whether any of that is actually enjoyable: puzzle ideas, difficulty, instructions, wording, testing, and the honest question of whether a new player would understand what to do without being told twice.

Most puzzles in the portfolio pass through both. A puzzle that is technically correct but confusing to play does not ship, and neither does a good idea that the code cannot generate fairly.

Attribution
