How do I run my own contest?

Contests turn a set of puzzles into a friendly competition — great for puzzle communities, events, or a themed weekend.

To run one:

1. Choose the puzzles you want to include.
2. Set the window — when the contest opens and closes.
3. Share the link. Solvers race through the puzzles during the window.

A live leaderboard ranks participants as they finish, so everyone can watch the standings update in real time. When the window closes, the results are locked in. It's a low-effort way to give your puzzles a sense of occasion.
