I've been having fun seeing the new puzzles come in and solving them.
I find the difficulty to be just right : having to try new things but not being stuck for days.
However, when I end up finding something (a word, a sentence) that could look like a solution to a puzzle, I sometimes wonder if it is indeed the solution or simply an intermediate step.
Some puzzles do have a hint about the shape of the solution (for example, Nov 23, #2, we are looking for a 3 letters creature).
Other puzzles leave us completely blind.
Most puzzles websites have you moving around from step to step as you solve puzzles, so you have a sense of whether you are in the right direction.
Since, for now, we are only solving independant puzzles, it's harder to have this feeling of "I solved it, I'm progressing."
All of this to say, I'd love to see more puzzle descriptions where we have an idea of what we are looking for, what the solution should look like.
Am I the only one?
