01Starting point
The goal: a calm daily puzzle paper in German that appears every day, is fair to solve and needs no account and no cookies – designed like a newspaper, not like an app full of prompts.
02Approach
- 0113 daily puzzles: word game, word ladder, honeycomb, syllable puzzle, crossword, sudoku in four levels, kakuro, bridges, nonogram, light & dark, queens, connections and daily question.
- 02Generators built in-house: every generated puzzle has exactly one solution that can be reached without guessing.
- 03Own content: 182 connections puzzles, 974 checked daily questions, 126 syllable puzzles and a custom crossword lexicon.
- 04Supplement “Die Spielpause”: solitaire, spider, free cell, mahjong, minesweeper, sliding tiles, chess problems and more – one deal a day for everyone plus free play. A solver checks in advance that every daily deal can be won.
- 05No account, no cookies: progress stays on the device; as a PWA it also works offline. Newspaper design in light and dark as “morning” and “night” edition.
03Outcome
Die Nachtausgabe is online at dienachtausgabe.de and shows how in-house generators, solvers and self-written content become a daily product that needs no user data.
