What is this?
Puzzle games. From me, Lex Friedman.
Isn't Conlextions just like Connections from The New York Times?
Yes. And Connections is a whole lot like a segment of a British game show called Only Connect. And there are crossword puzzles and Sudokus and word searches all over the place. Puzzle concepts are shareable and reusable; it's making original challenges of those puzzles that counts.
Compare a Sunday NYT crossword to a Thursday to a Monday. Those are very different puzzles, but each with the same basic format. That's the idea behind Conlextions, which are my take on Connections puzzles.
I play Connections every day. I also love how my brain has to work to form new Connections puzzles. So I make my own.
Isn't Lexicogs a lot like Seven Little Words from Puzzle Society?
Yes! See the above answer. I also work to make mine have a different kind of theme on my puzzles; theirs are mostly themeless. But I loved their puzzles and was inspired to make my own!
What is By A Vowel?
It's a brand new game. As of 3/14/24, it's available exclusively to paying subscribers for early testing.
Why should I subscribe?
You don't have to! Lexicogs and Conlextions remain entirely free to play. Subscribing is a way to support me! Subscription features include the ability to submit your scores to the daily Leaderboard, save your game progress on Lexicogs, turn on/off a visual timer while playing games, disable sharing your time when sharing your score, and (soon) play beta and bonus games. Stay tuned!
