List of Puzzle Elements

When it comes to puzzle creation, an Element is an essential building block. Various elements can be mixed and matched to create countless unique and (hopefully) engaging puzzle experiences, and the collection of known elements is growing with every new puzzle event. Here, we collect them for those curious enough to explore this wonderful, ever-changing puzzle landscape.

The important thing to remember about these elements is that they are not all that exist. We're always discovering new ways to structure and present puzzles, and new topics to write about. Just because a topic or idea isn't here doesn't mean it's not good, or won't make for a good puzzle (after all, we don't discriminate against puzzle quality when collecting these elements). The overwhelming chances are that a puzzle using that particular element just hasn't been made yet! Alternatively, we may not have added it to our collection quite yet! Either way, we always support new puzzle creators experimenting with what's here AND what's not.

Here is a list of indexes, split into core groups. Starting from any of these three "core" groups should get you to the vast majority of our recorded elements. If an element simply doesn't fall into one of those three categories, we have some additional categories below that!

Core Indexes

• Structure Elements
• Content Elements
• Flavour Elements

Other Indexes

• Solving Strategies
