Too lazy to print puzzles out, so I made an app to mail them to me

Logic puzzles are the best, but I’m trying to cut down on screen time. No more Wordle or Puzzmo for me.

There are great websites to with Sudoku, Star Battle, and Futoshiki. It’s free to print them out, yet I rarely do. I guess I’m too lazy.

Which got me to thinking, I bet I’m not the only one. There must be other puzzle lovers out there who would pay to have it done for them. And what if it could be similar to Wordle, where everyone solves the same puzzle every day? It might just give a feeling of a community with the convenience of a solo activity.

Enter Paper Puzzle. Each week the app will use a snail mail API service to deliver you 7 new puzzles. I guess you could consider it the lazy way to feel smart and productive.

It launches next week and I’m up to 12 sign ups. It's not free since it costs money to print and mail the puzzles, but let me know how to send you a 50% off discount code (good before launch). Plus the first week is free.

Congratulations! What an excellent idea, the only reason I ever want the newspaper is for the puzzles and doing them digitally isn’t the same.


This is cool! I'm too lazy to walk to the mailbox every day, but I love the idea.
