  3. You can try again as many times as you like. Show answer plays the solution (that day then does not count toward your streak).

Where the puzzles come from

We make the puzzles ourselves and use a solver (a program that searches for the answer) to check that each has exactly one solution. When we include a classic problem, we take the position from an original book whose copyright has expired and check it again with the same solver.
