Delivery

Checkout is handled by Payhip; card payments are processed by Stripe. Right after payment you get a download link on the confirmation page and by email. Nothing is shipped. If the email doesn't arrive within 15 minutes, check spam, then contact us and we'll resend it, usually within 1 business day.

Honest disclosure: every quote is copied word for word from a public-domain book on Project Gutenberg (Mark Twain, 1894 and 1897; La Rochefoucauld, 1871 English translation), and the answer key names the source of each one. The puzzles, layout and cover were made with computer code written with AI help. Our computer solver found exactly one solution for each puzzle, using a 25,000-word English dictionary (plus the puzzle's own words) and the hints given.
