Puzzmo Looking for New Puzzle Games (Plus a Puzzle to Solve!)

Puzzmo is one of the best puzzle game apps out there. Their puzzles are terrific, their games are as diverse as they are engaging, and if you’re not using the app, you’re missing out.

And they just put out a request for puzzle game submissions to add to their dynamite lineup:

We’re thinking about having a handful of games from members of our community appear on Puzzmo later this year. We’re always working towards Puzzmo being the place for thoughtful puzzles, so this project is us trying to connect our platform and community with interesting new games that otherwise don’t have a perfect place to be noticed and played on the internet.

So any game designers out there, if you’ve got a puzzle game that you think is ready for the world to see, be sure to click this link and check out what they’re looking for!

But be timely about it, the window for submissions only lasts until October 2nd!


And speaking of puzzles, I’ve got one for you to solve today.

I didn’t have time to finish this one last weekend, so sadly, it’s not as timely as I’d like.

One of my favorite character actors, Gerrit Graham, passed away recently, and I wanted to do a little tribute puzzle to him. Rather than a usual crossword grid, I thought I’d use a cryptic-style grid, so I could put more themed entries in the puzzle than a traditional crossword would allow.

Even with this looser format and fewer crossings, I still couldn’t fit in all the film and TV references I wanted to. I had to leave out the films Used Cars, The Little Mermaid, and Police Academy 6: City Under Siege (which sucks, but he’s GREAT in), as well as noteworthy appearances on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, Tales from the Crypt, Sledge Hammer!, The Tick, and Babylon 5. (He also wrote teleplays for The Twilight Zone!)

Happy puzzling, everyone, and good luck to everyone who submits to Puzzmo’s open submission for new puzzle games!
