A New Daily Word Puzzle

After making my first quiz for Jetpunk way back in 2014, I gradually established my niche on the site as a creator of word puzzles and quizzes. Messing around with words and letters has always been something I've enjoyed.

A couple of years ago, I created the quiz Words That Differ By One Letter. I realized that there were a lot more examples of these word pairs than could fit in just one quiz, and recently I decided to turn the idea into a Wordle-style Daily Puzzle. I've called it Pairadox.

I intend it to be a fairly quick diversion for solvers, and not take up too much time like some puzzles. Check it out and let me know what you think. Then come straight back to Jetpunk where you belong!

So cool! It's a realy good idea but the hints were a little weird today. How'd you make the site?

Thanks! The hint is intended to help define one of the two words needed to be found. Today's was a little strange, maybe. I used Claude Code to build the interactive mechanics of the puzzle, then had help from a family member who's a front-end engineer, to tweak a lot of the visual details. The puzzle content is my own, though.

This is cool. Fingers crossed that it takes off a bit, and it's easy enough that probably lots of people would do this daily. I tried my hand making a daily quiz sort of thing on JetPunk, but you actually made a site. Nice.
