Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A screen-free puzzle format that asks you to restore missing letters in a clue, then trace the answer through a word-search grid.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The homepage includes a live mini puzzle labeled 001: readers restore missing vowels in a clue, choose the completed answer, and tap its letters through a grid. The demonstrated route runs vertically, preventing a simple row-by-row scan. The project describes planned slim 108-page paperbacks containing 80 puzzles each; Missing Vowels is marked in development, while collections about British memories and more advanced grid paths are listed for later.
