Finish Qwyzzle

The old link to Qwyzzle doesn’t work anymore though the original Qwyzzle forum is still alive Here.

The latest messages in the Qwyzzle Discussion part of the forum say that Qwyzzle may not be returning.

Yeeessss !!! I’ve reached & solved level 100. :) :) :)

... I’ll take it back into my main goal list later. I haven’t touched Qwyzzle for ages and there are more urgent goals I want to pursue.

I’m still on level 70 which is a dice & maze puzzle. I reached this level about 2 months ago. I printed out the maze and rolled my dice around it. I thought I’d tried every possible route but none of them led to the exit. I guess I must have either missed a route or turned the dice the wrong way somewhere. I’ve been carrying a dice around with me in my bag ever since then in case I felt like having another go but I haven’t done anything at all with Qwyzzle since then, not even been to the site or looked at the forum. The urge seems to have worn off.

Nevertheless, I do still think Qwyzzle is brilliant & I do intend to come back to this!

This is for all those who don’t know what this “Finish Qwyzzle” goal is about.

Qwyzzle is a web-based series of very original, excellent puzzles. Each puzzle is presented one at a time and this has to be solved before the next puzzle is presented. There are 100 puzzles. The difficulty increases as you go from puzzle 1 upward through the levels.

For anyone who likes puzzles you have to try this. It’s at:

Click on the bowler hat for the puzzles & the candle for the forum.

There is also a forum where the puzzles are discussed but with absolutely no spoilers. The hints that are given by the members for each puzzle are quite obscure so even with the forum the puzzles are still challenging. The forum seems to be very well moderated.

When I started doing Qwyzzle I was just dabbling & I thought that the first few levels were ridiculously easy. Very soon I found I was thinking for longer about them, jotting notes, consulting Wikipedia & Google, printing out some of the puzzles so that I could mark things off on them, and so on. And so the addiction set in!

After that I discovered lots of mention of Qwyzzle across lots of websites & forums. It seems that I’m not the only person to have become addicted to this by a very very long way.

... and climbing again soon (I hope).

Qwyzzle is so addictive – it can take over your life.

Wonderful stuff!!
