nphard.app Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A daily suite of compact graph puzzles covering networks, colouring, guessing, facilities, and a planetary exploration game.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

HardMode packages graph concepts into small interactive exercises rather than presenting them as abstract notes. The Steiner instructions include weighted terrain, portals, edge wrapping, and an optional optimal route; Colouring adds a separate enumeration problem in which permuting colour names does not create a new answer. Practice, custom, editor, checking, undo, and sharing controls are visible alongside the daily modes.
