Solve the puzzle that made wordplay columnist Sam Corbin say-

"How much wordplay can one person take? A lot, in this puzzle’s estimation."

In 2022 I launched Anigrams, and in 2024 Order Up. Building/running my own daily puzzles has been one of the great creative joys of my life.

As of today, both games are now paused. I can't say more yet, but stay tuned for an exciting update. Excited to share what's next :)

I set it up so both directions are valid every day! When you make your first guess the game checks which direction has more correct answers and gives out greens based on that direction.

when you're done solving today's Order Up, you should really go look up the other word for "Long Hundred" because it will absolutely make your day

It actually counts as correct in either order! In fact when you hit submit the first time, the game checks which direction has more correct answers and gives out greens based on that direction

Trying something a little different for today's Order Up. Can you figure out what's going on with this theme?

What has more steps, the Eiffel Tower or the instruction booklet for the LEGO Eiffel Tower?

If that question piqued your curiosity even a little bit, this is the game for you
