Priya Raghunathan oversees the Puzzle Solved archive as a whole: the registry pipeline, the nightly rebuild schedule, the coverage scope decisions, and the editorial standards that govern how every satellite site presents its answer data. Her specific content responsibility is the word games category, where she reviews the verification output for all twenty-eight word game titles and decides when a populated count is reliable enough to feature on the hub. Her verification method for word games starts with the raw data file: she confirms that the answer field is a non-empty string, that it matches the game's displayed answer on at least one device, and that the level key is sequential with no unexplained gaps. When a scraper run leaves a gap, Priya determines whether the gap is a missing level in the game or an incomplete scrape, and logs the distinction in the data file comment. She also manages the proxy budget, deciding which blocked competitors justify the per-gigabyte cost and which are best left as gaps until a direct scrape path reopens.
The People Behind the Archive
Editorial Team
Three editors oversee the 45-game Puzzle Solved archive. Each is responsible for a content category, a verification method, and the accuracy of their section.
Tomas Berg manages the logic and grid category, which includes nonogram, word search, association, and cipher puzzle formats. His section is structurally the most varied in the archive because no two games in it share the same data shape: Nonocross stores a full grid matrix with row and column clue arrays, Monkey Wrench stores category-and-word pipes, Word Search Explorer stores hidden-word positions, and Solitaire Associations stores clue sequences. Tomas reviews the data adapter for each format and confirms that the breakdown page on the satellite site accurately reflects what is in the file. His verification method is grid-first: for nonogram puzzles he runs a fill-count check to confirm the number of filled cells in the stored grid matches the density percentage in the metadata. For association and word-search formats he checks that every answer word in the stored list is present in the game's level when played on device. He flags any mismatch as a data error rather than a display error, which routes it to the scraper engineer rather than the template.
Nadia Okonkwo covers the crossword and clue category, which includes ten games spanning themed crosswords, picture-clue formats, deduction grids, and definition-based fill-in puzzles. Her verification method prioritises clue-answer alignment: for each satellite site in her section, she checks a random sample of clue strings against the stored answer and confirms the answer fits the clue type. For themed crossword games like Daily Themed Crossword and Word Craze, this means confirming the answer matches the stated theme and the character count. For definition games like Figgerits and 7 Little Words, it means confirming the answer is a valid word that satisfies the definition. Nadia also manages the multilingual audit for her category: Crossword Jam covers five locales and Crostic covers nine, and she reviews the populated status per locale before any locale is listed as verified in the registry. Her priority for Phase 2 is the CodyCross password archive, which requires a separate parsing pass on the season-and-world structure of that game's data.
Editorial Standards
The three editors operate independently within their categories. No editor approves content from another editor's section. Cross-category questions - for example, a game that spans word and clue mechanics - are resolved by Priya Raghunathan in her capacity as Editor in Chief. Category assignment decisions are recorded in the registry and documented in the adapter research report.
Each editor is reachable through the contact page. Correction reports go to the same inbox regardless of category; the editorial team triages by game name and routes to the responsible editor. For DMCA and legal inquiries, contact contact@puzzlesolved.info directly.
The editorial team does not use fabricated credentials, claim affiliations they do not hold, or cite awards or publications. The bios above describe what each editor does on this archive and how they verify the content they are responsible for. That is the relevant credential for an answer archive: demonstrated method, not institutional background.
