Can we run a prize puzzle?
Yes. Ask for the details you need with the entry form and export the entries afterwards. A word search can even hide the answer in its leftover letters.
Do readers need an account?
No. They play straight from your page. Only what the entry form asks for is stored, and only you can see it.
We are a one-person newsroom. Is this realistic?
Yes. Once the words are chosen, a crossword or a quiz takes minutes, and with open dates a week of puzzles fits in one sitting.
