A Puzzle For Your Website
Happy New Year! I hope everyone is excited about being back to school and continuing the learning process. In a moment I'm going to tell you about how you can create a puzzle to add to your own website, but first, an amusing story. (At least, I HOPE it's an amusing story!)
On The Problem Site, there is a page where people can do a survey on any game, expressing whether it works well in their classroom, how difficult it is, what grade levels it works well for, etc.
Yesterday someone filled out a survey on The Treasure Hunt. The person surveyed claimed to be a teacher of grades six to twelve. I say "claimed" because the survey response contained all the atrocious grammar and spelling mistakes you would expect a sixth grade student to make...not a sixth grade teacher.
Anyway, in the process of deciphering the badly written response, I finally concluded that the student who wrote it was complaining that the site doesn't have enough "arcade" style games. The idea behind the statement was that filling the site with arcade style games will get students to learn without realizing they're learning.
If you really need to have an arcade style game, you can play Adders!. That's the only arcade style game on the site, and I don't really expect to be adding any more at this point in time.
Okay, now on to the real topic of this post. Do you want to have a puzzle to post on your own website? Visit the Tile Puzzler website, and click the Create Puzzle link. Once you've finished creating a puzzle, you will have the option of adding the puzzle to your own website.
Here's a sample of how it looks:
