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

  1. 0113 daily puzzles: word game, word ladder, honeycomb, syllable puzzle, crossword, sudoku in four levels up to “master”, kakuro, bridges, nonogram, light & dark, queens, connections and daily question – plus the puzzle corner.
  2. 02Generators built in-house: every generated puzzle is guaranteed to have exactly one solution that can be reached without guessing.
  3. 03A weekly curve like in print: easy on Monday, harder towards the weekend, the Sunday puzzle on Sunday.
  4. 04Own content: 182 connections puzzles, 974 checked daily questions, 126 syllable puzzles and a custom crossword lexicon.
  5. 05No account, no cookies: progress stays on the device and can be saved as a file; as a PWA it also works offline.
  6. 06Accessible: usable with keyboard and screen reader, considerate of colour vision deficiencies and large text; newspaper design in light and dark as “morning” and “night” edition.

03Outcome

Die Nachtausgabe launches on 1 October 2026 at dienachtausgabe.de and shows how in-house generators and self-written content become a daily product that needs no user data.
