It's a a long puzzle, somewhat akin to a 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle. Solving it collectively with others is encouraged.

If you are the sort that likes rules, the rules are you can use Google or whatever external sources you like for help. View page source, however, is cheating.

Hat tip to Octagon and the TND crew for help in play testing and proposing categories.

5 hours into “just checking it out”.. very nice puzzle.

Thanks for sharing. Although 'Boromir' and 'One does not simply' should absolutely be a match!

This is a lot of fun! Works decently well on mobile too. One suggestion (although, take it with a grain of salt)- I didn’t notice the deselect since header disappears on zoom. Might be better that way, but might be useful sticked top. Nice work!

Interesting idea. One note: sometimes after I connect two items it'll reselect the combined item, sometimes it won't. I'd prefer if it never did, but at least if it was consistent I could get used to having to click "Deselect" each time...

EDIT: Also, would be helpful if the items where I've created a category were somehow grouped (column on the left?) so when I find a third item, it's easier to find the ones I'd already joined.

I clicked straight through without reading your directions and I liked figuring out the puzzle of the puzzle. I really appreciate a long puzzle. This is great!

edit: Now I see that the bigger challenge is finding the small collections again after I’ve grouped a few together.

Geez, last time the year was a square was 1936. And it won't be again until 2116.

This is magnificent <3
