<p class="highlight-text">I see regularly that schools use Puzzel.org and that is awesome! A feature that will stimulate this use, is the option of having automatic answer checking enabled/disabled. </p>
<p>The answer checking makes sure that every entered answer within the puzzle is being checked against the actual valid answer. This happens via an encrypted route though, so no one will have access to the real answer. When the answer turns out to be false, the colors stay neutral as visual feedback.
<p>In combination with the user-friendly use of Backspace, Tab and the Arrow Keys, it is very easy to undo wrong answers and to jump to the next question.</p>
<h2>Answers plus end solution</h2>
<p>Besides that, there is a nice feature with which you can connect a final solution to the puzzle, when someone has deciphered all of the answers containing 'hint squares'. This ultimate goal of the puzzle gives a little extra dimension and makes it usable for prize questions.</p>
<h2>Security</h2>
<p>To be able to use Puzzel.org online, for schools, it is necessary to block any kind of spying on the real answers, even for the smart and technically adept children :). To facilitate this, Puzzel.org saves the answers encrypted. When a puzzle player checks the answer, it runs the same encryption and checks if the encryptions match.</p>
<h2>Disabling answer control</h2>
<p>As a premium feature, there is the option to disable answer control as well. This will allow teachers to manually check and grade a puzzle based on the filled in answers. </p><p>It is also a bit more difficult for the students this way, since you do not know if your filled in answer is valid or not.</p>

All filled in answers will be corrected automatically. No more manual checking for teachers!

Extend the crossword puzzle maker into your courses with ease! Just for teachers! Embedding crossword puzzles within your Canvas LMS environment is done within a few clicks after the setup.
</p>
<h2>Why use the integration?</h2>
<p>
Currently you need to create the puzzles at Puzzel.org, copy the embed code and then make sure you embed the puzzle correctly by adding it to the source code. 
</p>
<p>Time to reduce some hassle and make it more easy!</p>
<p class="highlight-text">
<strong>Note:</strong> if you are using a different LMS, no worries! You can still follow the 'normal' <a href='https://puzzel.org/en/features/general/embed-on-own-website'>embed flow</a>.
</p>
<h2>Using the integration</h2>
<p>
The first step to get set up, is to visit the LMS integration page of <a href='https://www.eduappcenter.com/apps/1089/'>Puzzel.org on the EduAppCenter</a>. Follow the installation instructions there (or ask your IT guy/gal to help with the integration)
</p>
<p>
Then test your first puzzle by following the next instructions:
<ol>
<li>Create a new assignment and edit it</li>
<li>Click the new black/yellow Puzzel.org editor icon in the Rich Content Editor and log in with your Puzzel.org account (only needed the first time)</li>
<li>Pick the puzzle you would like to embed into the assignment</li>
<li>Wait for your awesome puzzle to be loaded into the editor as an iframe</li>
<li>Choose Submission-type of 'Online' with File Upload enabled</li>
<li>Save & Publish</li>
<li>Fill in the puzzle (or not), hit save as image above the puzzle, and upload the downloaded image into the assignment via the Canvas 'submit assignment' button</li>
<li>Check SpeedGrader and there is the image! :)</li>
</ol>
</p>
<h2>Missing something in the integration?</h2>

Canvas LMS with Easy Puzzle Integration

<p class="highlight">
One of the most cool aspect of puzzles is the challenge. The challenge to solve the riddle that is given, no matter the format. Puzzel.org loves this feature and tries to support it in all different kinds of implementations of a code puzzle maker.
</p>
<h2>Show me the code options!</h2>
<p>
The options are pretty diverse and you can try for yourself which suits you best. One requires a <a href="/en/pricing">Premium-account</a> but most are free by default. Let's check them out!
</p>
<ol>
<li>The Cryptogram</li>
<li>The Scavenger Hunt</li>
<li>The Hidden Solution within Crosswords</li>
<li>The Acrostic Puzzle</li>
<li>The Message shown on Completion</li>
</ol>
<h2>1. The Cryptogram</h2>
<p>
This is the most classic code puzzle maker I would say. Encode a secret sentence in numbers and let the puzzle player solve the rest! 
</p>
<p>
To make it a bit easier for the puzzle player, the code can be partially filled with helper letters (most common / custom / vowels) which gives the player a bit more context.
</p>
<p>
Feeling the vibe with the cryptogram? <a href="/en/cryptogram/create">Start creating one right away!</a>
</p>
<h2>2. The Scavenger hunt</h2>
<p>
This is a code puzzle type with endless depth since you can add as many code puzzle challenges as you like! Every challenge has a code, a description, an image and an optional link to an external or Puzzel.org puzzle. 
</p>
<p>
You have to make sure every challenge in the scavenger hunt has a way to discover the code of course, but besides that you are completely free in how to setup this puzzle type. 
</p>
<p>
Unleash the online scavenging and <a href="/en/scavenger-hunt/create">start the hunt!</a>
</p>
<h2>3. The Hidden Solution with Crosswords</h2>
<p>
An all-time favourite within the Puzzel.org platform, even earning its own feature page about <a href="/en/features/create-crossword/with-solution">how the hidden solution is implemented</a>.
</p>
<p>
Since crossword puzzles are very familiar to most and offer a fun and accessible way to solve a puzzle, even if you are not the most capable puzzle player, the hidden solution here is a cool way to create a general playable puzzle. Filled with auto-completion and all :). 
</p>
<p>Start implementing <a href="/en/crossword/create">your new crossword</a> right away.</p>
<h2>4. The Acrostic Puzzle</h2>
<p>
The whole purpose of the acrostic puzzle is to contain a hidden code to find. This code puzzle maker does not even function without it! It is the body that connects the answers and is therefore awesome!
</p>
<p>
Make sure you have enough answers to cover the code and you will have a great puzzle skeleton to share with your puzzle players.
</p>
<p>
Start working on your skeleton and <a href="/en/acrostic/create">create an acrostic puzzle</a>.
</p>
<h2>5. The Message shown on Completion</h2>
<p class="highlight">
This option requires a Premium-account.
</p>
<p>
All puzzles within Puzzel.org have a 'completion state', the moment on which the puzzle is done and completed by the player. This is the moment to unlock the code and share it with your player via the completion message.
</p>
<p>
The message can be fully customised and has therefore earned the rights to an <a href="/en/features/general/with-custom-success-message">own feature page</a> as well! :)
</p>
<p>
Great in conjunction with the online scavenger hunt for example, since you can connect a whole series of puzzles together via the code shared on completion. The code puzzle maker fantasy for everybody, right? :)
</p>
<p>
As a Premium member you can add the completion message to every puzzle via the Premium-tab. Scroll down to the bottom and you will find the 'Show message' which unlocks the other customisations.
</p>
<h2>Need more code puzzles?</h2>
<p>
As a developer I of course like code ;), and there is always room for improvement or different ways to implement a code puzzle. So if you have new ideas, just send me (<a href="mailto:daan@puzzel.org">daan@puzzel.org</a> a message with your concept and I will seriously consider looking into it.
</p>

Create custom puzzles with styling and features

Customizable puzzles

<p class="highlight-text">With just a little bit of code you can embed a crossword puzzle, and all of the other puzzle types, within your own website with ease!</p>
<p>At Puzzel.org I want to ensure that the online sharing of crossword puzzles is as easy as possible. I have therefore made a special, clean version of the crossword puzzles which can be embedded nicely!</p>
<h2>Why embed a crossword puzzle?</h2>
<ul>
<li>It's fun and awesome! :)</li>
<li>Directly available to the visitors of your website</li>
<li>More engagement from your visitors</li>
<li>In combination with some of your own styling/logo, the embedded crossword puzzle will be an integral part of your website.</li>
</ul>
<h2>How does the embedding work?</h2>
<p>All of the features and styling are being loaded from the Puzzel.org servers. Therefore you don't need to implement any fancy code, except the embed-code of your own crossword puzzle. This works in the same way as embedding a YouTube-video. The example code looks as follows:</p>
<p><textarea style='font-size:20px; border: 0; outline: 0; border-bottom: 5px solid black;'class="code-snippet" cols="60" readonly="readonly" rows="5">&lt;div&gt;&lt;iframe src='https://puzzel.org/en/crossword/embed?p=-L1v2n-yhlUB-bGDzGol' width='750' height='750' frameborder='0'&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</textarea></p>
<p class='highlight-text'>
Embedded puzzles are also available via Wordpress by installing the new Puzzel.org Wordpress plugin! A new experiment that is interesting to try out! :) - <a href='/en/features/general/wordpress-plugin'>

<h2>Embedded puzzles are premium</h2>
<p>
Embedding puzzles is a premium feature, which means it is available to you as a teacher for 30 dollars per year, or as a non-teacher for 10 dollars per month. You can read more about the pricing <a href="/en/pricing">here</a>.
</p>
<h2>Custom puzzles</h2>
<p>To make sure that the puzzle is in its optimal form, you can also adjust the width/height of the iframe in the code above. This also impacts if a scrollbar is shown or not.</p>
<p>
A different way to customize the puzzle is to make use of the brand new custom styling feature. This allows you to create a personalized puzzle which fits your website perfectly.

Sharing your custom built puzzles from your own website and/or LMS with ease

Embed Puzzles into your website

<p>To create the best possible experience for everybody, I have created a free standard without needing an account to start creating puzzles.</p>
<p>The free puzzle maker at Puzzel.org ensures that students and hobbyists can easily create puzzles without having to reach into their pockets and pay for this service.</p>
<p>If you started out for free and want to get the most of your puzzles, then it might be time to check out the premium features and consider joining Puzzel.org as a premium subscriber.</p>
<p class="highlight">You can already join as a teacher for 30 dollars per year. Or just try out the features first for 10 dollars for one month: <a href="/en/pricing">Check it out</a></p>
<h2>Limitations</h2>
<p>To strike a balance between free and premium, there a couple of fair use restrictions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Maximum of 60 visitors</li>
<li>Maximum of 2 puzzles saved in your account</li>
<li>No premium features</li>
</ul>


The free online puzzle maker that has a great free tier! No software required.

Free Online Puzzle Maker

<p class="highlight">
Bigger organisations have a big audience to attend to and this is awesome! Although Puzzel.org by default is catered more to serving teachers, there are upgrade possibilities beyond the 5000 puzzles played limit of the Ambassador-subscription to make sure your puzzle is accessible at all times.
</p>
<h2>Sky is the limit?</h2>
<p>
Depending on your use case and audience estimation, there is always a fitting solution to serve all those potential puzzle players out there. 
</p>
<p>
In general it will come down to three options:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Upgrading your monthly limit per month</li>
<li>Upgrading your monthly limit for 1 year</li>
<li>Setting up a custom puzzel.org subdomain for your puzzles on a dedicated server</li>
</ol>
<h2>1. Upgrading your monthly limit per month</h2>
<p>
This option will fit most use cases since you cannot always estimate how many people will play your puzzle in a given month. This could be during a temporary marketing campaign, or when your puzzle gains (unexpected) traction. 
</p>
<p>
It is very easy to directly allocate extra resources in these moments.
This can be done through the following <a href="https://puzzel.org/en/payment/upgrade-limit">upgrade link</a>.
</p>
<p>Upgrading can already be done for $10.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> There are several sizes and limit bonuses can be bought at any time. Do note, that limits work on a monthly basis (calendar month), just like most phone data providers for example. So once a new month starts, your limit bonus will be gone (and the puzzles played limit for that month is reset as well to your subscription's default limit).</p>
<h2>2. Upgrading your monthly limit for 1 year</h2>
<p>
If you expect to use Puzzel.org intensively for more than a month and your puzzles played to be between 10.000-30.000, then upgrading on a monthly basis might become cumbersome.
</p>
<p>
In this case I would advise to contact me (<a href="mailto:daan@puzzel.org">daan@puzzel.org</a>) so we can discuss your needs and I will give you a fair and discounted relative pricing depending on your upper limit.
</p>
<h2>3. Setting up a custom puzzel.org subdomain for your puzzles on a dedicated server</h2>
<p>
Apparently you are a pretty big organisation and considering Puzzel.org, awesome! :)
</p>
<p>
From 30.000+ puzzles played per month I would advise contacting me (<a href="mailto:daan@puzzel.org">daan@puzzel.org</a>) about setting up a dedicated server to only serve your puzzles. This would detach the dependency from the main puzzel.org domain and creating a better, faster and more reliable service (while protecting the main puzzel.org domain from overload as well! :))
</p>
<p>
The subdomain can be setup easily and quickly and should take no longer than 2-3 days to move into production. I would create a {company}.puzzel.org domain for your puzzles, so that you can embed them easily from the given custom domain.  
</p>
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong> Since it takes me extra time, costs and effort to setup a dedicated server, this is only an option when using the puzzles for three months at minimum.
</p>
<p>
The pricing for setting up a custom dedicated puzzle server starts at 300 dollars per month (for 30.000 visitors) and will be determined based on the number of puzzles which are expected to be played. For the exact pricing I will keep a fair and discounted pricing in mind since there should be scale advantage for you as a customer of course.

Inspiration

<p>The best thing about puzzles I think, is to share and play them online. It is becoming increasingly more popular to use online learning management systems, magazines and newsletters and puzzles area great way to tap into this movement.</p>
<p>Interactive puzzles are not easy to build yourself and require quite some logic to be able to load, save and register the accompanying data. This is what Puzzel.org specializes in.</p>
<p>The interactivity combined with user created puzzles is a combination that strikes the right note for teachers, magazine makers, marketing/engagement goals and other creative purposes.</p>
<p>I have built many interesting features to accompany and strengthen the interactive puzzles, like for example:</p>
<ul>
<li>Crossword puzzles in teams</li>
<li>Puzzles + Registration functionality + stats</li>
<li>Custom styling opportunities</li>
<li>Multiplayer Memory</li>
<li>And a lot more!</li>
</ul>
<p>To learn more about the different options, please check out the puzzle builders themselves, and dive into the different settings/premium/publish tabs to see all of the options.</p>

Interactive Puzzles - Playable Online

<p class='highlight-text'>To add an interesting element for online competitions, I added the option to register user information once the puzzle has been completed! :)</p>
<h2>Know your puzzle players</h2>
<p>A lot of companies would like to be in touch with their puzzle players after the puzzle has been completed. The lead generation feature achieves this with great ease! It allows to gather the name, email and phonenumber (optional) of the user.</p>
<p class='highlight-text'>Do you need extra fields? Let me know your idea via <a href='mailto:daan@puzzel.org'>daan@puzzel.org</a></p>
<h2>Export puzzle players</h2>
<p>To allow the greatest flexibility, Puzzel.org allows for an Excel-export (xlsx) of the gathered leads. This way, you can easily import the data into the software of your choice and use it in any way you like.</p>
<h2>How to use?</h2>
<p>To use the lead generation feature, you will need to activate the '<a href='/en/features/general/with-custom-success-message'>Show (custom) success message on solving puzzle</a>'. This allows for multiple custom options, one of which is the lead generation option.</p>
<p>Just check the 'Ask for contact information' option and you are all set to go! :)</p>

Lead Generation via Puzzles

<p>I know you math teachers out there enjoy puzzles and that is why I wanted to expand the current genres being used within the puzzles of Puzzel.org!</p>
<p>Most crossword puzzles have restrictions on the input needing to be characters from the alphabet, but why exactly? Wouldn't it be awesome to gather hints and numbers while solving math equations, just like you gather characters when solving normal crossword puzzles?</p>
<img alt="math crossword puzzle" src="/static/features/math-puzzle-example.png" />
<h2>Introducing math puzzle options</h2>
<p>By allowing creative character input and having descriptions in multiple forms (images / sentences), you can even show visual representations of math challenges. Puzzles are always a fun and low threshold question form which is what math and math teachers sometimes need (or actually the math students)</p>
<h2>More ideas</h2>
<p>I have just touched the surface with this math crossword puzzle idea, but it would be great to increase the number of user generated math puzzles out there with different puzzle types.</p>
<p>Currently I do not have any extra inspiration, but if you do and just need someone to implement it, let me know and I will look into it! :) - <a href="mailto:daan@puzzel.org">daan@puzzel.org</a></p><p>In the meantime, <a href="/en/crossword/create">enjoy the math crossword puzzle creator</a>!</p>

Make math puzzles an integral path of your lessons as a teacher. Make math fun again!

Math puzzles - Create your own

<p>To make the puzzles as accessible as possible, there is support for any language you would like. Currently there is English, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Slovak, but there is always room and functionality to create extra translations right now! :)</p>
<p>I have built my own translation system which is accessible and editable online once you contact me and offer to help. I will give you access and we can start translating the relevant labels for your goal as soon as possible.</p>
<p>Are you for instance a teacher from Germany, or somewhere else? Please contact me at <a href="mailto:daan@puzzel.org">daan@puzzel.org</a> and I hope we can work together soon!</p>
<p>If you help me translate more then just a few labels, then we could setup a deal where you get a premium account in return for your translation services! :)</p>

Currently available in Dutch, English, Spanish and more! New languages are welcome!

Multilangual Puzzle Support

<p>Everbody likes visuals! Instead of reading a question you can just take a look and check out the image in front of you. It still may be in the form of a <a href="/en/features/create-crossword/with-pictures">crossword puzzle with pictures</a> for example, but at least there are pictures!</p>
<h2>Build puzzles with images</h2>
<p>Since everybody learns differently, it can be a nice change for some students or puzzle solvers to step into a visual challenge. Puzzel.org understands this need and offers all sorts of puzzle makers which include pictures.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/en/slidingpuzzle/create">Sliding Puzzle Maker</a></li>
<li><a href="/en/quartets/create">Quartets</a></li>
<li><a href="/en/memory/create">Memory</a></li>
<li><a href="/en/crossword/create">Crossword puzzle with pictures</a></li>
<li><a href="/en/wordseeker/create">Word search with pictures</a></li>
<li><a href="/en/scavenger-hunt/create">Scavenger hunt</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>Sometimes premium</h2>
<p>Some of the puzzle types require a premium subscription to be used with images (crossword / word search), but the others are all free from the start since the essence of the puzzle includes pictures. Upgrading can always be done afterwards if you like the basics :).</p>
<h2>Your picture puzzle maker</h2>
<p>Do you have different ideas with which you would like to make awesome picture puzzles? Just let me know your concept and I will look into expanding the current options with your idea: <a href="mailto:daan@puzzel.org">daan@puzzel.org</a> </p>

The picture puzzle maker with all kinds of puzzle type support. Great for kids too via the visual clues!

Picture Puzzle Maker

<p>You are puzzeling online and all of a sudden you have to leave or the computer does something crazy. Pity, all of your filled in answers are gone! Or you would like to make a puzzle online but after you have created it, it isn't reachable or adjustable anymore.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="highlight-text">There must be better ways to solve this, we thought at Puzzel.org.</p>
<h2>Puzzle saved online while playing</h2>
<p>We built a nifty feature that makes sure that filled in answers are saved locally in your browser. This is a feature that is available for most modern browsers. See the diagram below to check if yours supports local storage.</p>
<p><a href="http://caniuse.com/#search=localStorage"><img src="/static/lokale-opslag-kruiswoordpuzzel.png" alt="save crossword puzzle locally" width="600" height="224" /></a></p>
<h2>Puzzle saved after creating it</h2>
<p>For the other challenge we had to make sure that people who wanted to use our crossword puzzle maker, could easily access their puzzles later on. So we needed an account form. A place where all of your developed puzzles could easily be found and stored.&nbsp;</p>
<p>To accompany this process, we improved the workflow for our users by facilitating users to use crossword puzzle maker without having an account. After creating the puzzle, you can then choose to create an account and save the created puzzle automatically within your new account!</p>
<h2>Puzzles also saved without an account</h2>
<p>Just to let you know, puzzles are also saved once you build your puzzle without an account. It ends up in a temporary account which is hooked to your current browser session. If you create an account afterwards, then your account + created puzzles will automatically be converted to the new account and the puzzles will magically also be there! :)</p>

Save your puzzles in your own private account so you can always edit and manage them

Saveable puzzles

<p>Due to the awesome online nature of the puzzles, they are also very capable of being shared via the social media like Facebook and Twitter.</p>
<p>By sharing a direct link to  a puzzle, or by embedding the puzzle on your own website first (great engagement!), you can easily engage your users via social media and organize all kinds of contests, challenges and other fun interactions.</p>
<h2>Customize your puzzles</h2>
<p>When choosing the premium integration, you can even customize the way your puzzles look and make sure they fit your brand strategy at the social media.</p>
<h2>Multiplayer</h2>
<p>Some of the puzzles even have team/multiplayer options to let your audience engage together and solve a puzzle simultaneously or in a sort of competition. All with interesting stats to accompany this cool real-time functionality :).</p>

All puzzles are shareable via social media, because they are playable online!

I love helping people. Please share your feedback.

Support / Contact

<p>Puzzles are fun, but only if the interaction with them is easy and intuitive. Especially on devices like a smartphone or tablet, it can be a bit more daunting to have an overview and match the questions with the correct part of the puzzle.</p>
<p>To help the puzzle player out, I have tried my best to create responsive puzzles that resize themselves to the given screen size and stay in view as well as possible.</p>
<p>Other user-friendly features of the puzzles consist of clear color contrasts, easy navigation, big font size and support for older browsers such as Internet Explorer 11.</p>

Clear colors & compact interface. Very responsive for mobile as well!

User-friendly Puzzles

<p>You are proud of your brand and styling and would like your puzzles to integrate as seamless as possible into your own environment. To support this, the puzzles have all kinds of custom styling options which allow you to choose a combination that fits your needs best.</p>
<p>Especially the Supporter & Ambassador yearly subscription who have commercial stakes, might want to make use of these premium options to accompany their communication and marketing goals.</p>
<h2>No domain reference</h2>
<p>Besides the styling, the puzzles do not have any direct visible reference to Puzzel.org, except for the source code which needs to load the puzzle into your own domain. So completely white label for a low price!</p>
<h2>Extra custom styling</h2>
<p>If you would like extra custom styling for your account, you can always contact me to fit in your needs. For the commercial yearly account, I will add some simple changes for free and if there are more custom demands, we can always make a deal for extra work at 50 dollars per hour. Let me know if you miss anything: <a href="mailto:daan@puzzel.org">daan@puzzel.org</a></p>

No logo, no direct Puzzel.org recognition. Just a clean puzzle in your styling!

White Label Puzzles

<p class="highlight-text">
From scavenger hunts to online competitions to a nice bonus for the students, your own custom success message after solving a puzzle offers a range of possibilities!
</p>
<h2>Add your own custom message</h2>
<p>The puzzles within Puzzel.org all have the option to add a success-message once the puzzle has been solved. To customize this, you as the puzzle owner have the following types of input:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Title</li>
<li>Description</li>
<li>Image</li>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Confetti! :)</li>
<li>Gather contact info</li>
</ul>
<h2>Puzzle scavenger hunt</h2>
<p>
A very nice way to use this, is to unlock a secret code/link once the puzzle has been solved. In that way, puzzle players can be sent from link to link of can unlock a code which can be used elsewhere, like a physical lock, a password, you name it!
</p>
<h2>Subject introduction</h2>
<p>
Via image and text you have the opportunity to introduce a new subject once the puzzle has been solved. The puzzle itself can used to ask a number of basic questions about the subject and then follow through with the introduction and a link to read more about it.
</p>
<h2>Also interesting</h2>
<p>
This type of functionality is comparable to/an extension of the crossword puzzle feature: '<a href="/en/features/create-crossword/with-solution">crossword puzzle with solution</a>'.
</p>

Surprise your players with a custom message when the puzzle is done! Allows a link and a image as well!

Puzzles with Custom Completion Message

<p class="highlight-text">
This puzzle feature makes it possible to see user statistics per question and aggregated statistics for different types of puzzles!
</p>
<p>
Nothing is less fun then to manually check exams and assignments. To make this process more fun and automated, I have developed the register-functionality with statistics. 
</p>
<h2>Registration</h2>
<img src="/static/features/registration-puzzle-example.png" />
<p>
Students register themselves for the puzzle and therefore have permanent access to their own answers. From a different comuter, at a different time, they can still log in to their account and see/complete their puzzle. Everything is directly connected to the backend of Puzzel.org, and thus with your account as a teacher.
</p>
<h2>Statistics</h2>
<p>
As the owner of the puzzle, you can easily follow the statistics in the backend. In real-time! The stats will be updated automatically as soon as a student fills in a new correct answer.
</p>
<p>
There are aggregated results for the:
<ul>
<li>Total users</li>
<li>Average spent time</li>
<li>Correct answers</li>
<li>Correctly answered questions</li>
</ul>
</p>
<img src="/static/features/stats-example.png" />
<h2>Stats per user</h2>
<p>
To complement the aggregated results, I have added individual statistics to the live statistics feed as well.
</p>
<p class="highlight-text">
This makes it possible to use the puzzle as an exam/checkable assignment, since you as the teacher have direct access to the results of the individual! :)
</p>

Register your digital puzzle players and keep track of their stats, real-time!

Puzzles with Stats and Registration

<p class='highlight-text'>For the premium members who would like to integrate their puzzles with more ease into their Wordpress website, this is now possible!</p>
<p>
The plugin is a new experiment of mine and is still in beta-mode. Therefore, it not yet available in the official Wordpress plugin overview.
</p>
<h2>Install the Puzzel.org Wordpress plugin</h2>
<p>
To install the plugin, please follow the following steps:
<ol>
<li><a href='/static/puzzel-org.zip'>Download the plugin ZIP-file</a></li>
<li>Login to Wordpress and go to Plugins > Add new</li>
<li>Click on 'Upload plugin' at the top and select the downloaded the puzzel-org.zip file</li>
<li>Click 'Install now'</li>
<li>Click 'Activate plugin' once the installation has succesfully been completed</li>
</ol>
</p>
<p class="highlight"><strong>Note:</strong> to use the current version of the plugin, you should have the classic editor enabled. The new Gutenberg editor is not yet supported.</p>
<h2>Loading puzzles into Wordpress</h2>
<p>
The next step is to authenticate with Puzzel.org and load your puzzles into Wordpress.</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to the new Puzzel.org settings menu in the sidebar</li>
<li>Fill in your Puzzel.org credentials (email/password) and click 'Authenticate with Puzzel.org'</li>
<li>Once this is succesful, click on the 'Retrieve all puzzles' button</li>
<li>Watch your beautiful list of puzzles get loaded :)</li>
<li>Click 'Save Puzzles' at the bottom to save the puzzles into Wordpress</li>
</ol>
<h2>Embedding puzzles into Wordpress Posts/Pages</h2>
<p>
Once all of the puzzles are loaded into Wordpress, it is time to use them within your posts and pages! To make this as easy and visual as possible, I have created an extension for the Wordpress editor. This can be used in the following manner:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open up a (new) page/post within Wordpress</li>
<li>Click on a empty spot within the editor where you would like to have a puzzle</li>
<li>Click the new available and colorful black/yellow icon [P]</li>
<li>Fill in the settings (width/height/language) or leave them as defaults if you currenly don't know</li>
<li>Click on the puzzle that you would like to embed within your post/page</li>
<li>And there it is! Visually loaded into your page, waiting to be saved :)</li>
<li>After you save the post/page, check out the published post/page on the website and see if you solve your own puzzle. :)</li>
</ol>
<h2>Only for premium users</h2>
<p>
Since the embedded puzzles are only available for premium users, the Wordpress plugin is only useful for premium users as well. If you are a new user and want crossword puzzles, word search puzzles, memory or quartets embedded right into your website, please upgrade first and then have fun with the plugin :).
