@simonwillison.net to evaluate jev you should ask it how good each pelican svg is from Claude's last matrix

My head cannon for the reason this is hand drawn is because you had to rush it to publication to scoop the other cartoonists

I needed to see this in an image so I just made an example in infininity painter on my phone

Or I guess the a isn't upside down uh, Γuigi? Greek letter gamma??

This made me realize it should be "lnigi" not waluigi

Haha -- I do have at least SOME filters to avoid less family friendly terms popping up, which, for what it is worth, was a very strange file to put on my computer.

There's a place near me that has a side that is a combo of tots, curly, waffle, traditional, spicy, and thick cut fries. It's a fry variety pack, and it is lovely

Oh whoops, I hadn't made the saturday zeepza.com game, all good now if anyone tried and was confused why it said no games available

I've been watching xmen97, which is amazing, and when we finished the last available episode, it just started auto playing xmen (2000), and honestly, I bet a lot of people just let it keep going

Ok but now I wanna know which would have ranked higher, pickleball or pillow

010

Jake Ouellette @jakeout.com · 16/07/2026

Probably needs more tuning, I think today's puzzle felt easier, actually, but I added spoiler letters that show up occasionally on hard mode wordbox to try to make it so you can't assume every location had a word attached @ zeepza.com/games/wordbo...

I want to make a joke about this maybe being where they are filming the next fallout season but it feels too on the nose

I'd like to see this analysis and breakdown of noita next, one of my favorite (and yet still somehow) very flawed games

New game in preview at zeepza.com/games/word-g..., a spatial game disguised as a spelling game

010

Jake Ouellette @jakeout.com · 05/07/2026

I had her try an earlier revised version of wordbox before I made it a slider that was a single row, 1x7, where you put a 1x3 and 1x4 down and she said "I don't know where to put them!!!" So yeah pretty much haha

Jake Ouellette @jakeout.com · 05/07/2026

I had some feedback that some of the UX bits of zeepza weren't landing for the younger end, I added a new "Jr" difficulty that is simplified for folks. My daughter enjoyed it :)

child friendly version of "letter drop" puzzle

Jake Ouellette @jakeout.com · 04/07/2026

Yesterday's letterdrop had a couple glitches, so I added some systems to (1) prevent proper names (2) validate unique answers and (3) give "partial credit" for to make it easier to tell which words are part of the (ideally) single valid solution.

I'm a big fan of that logged out dinosaur thing in chrome, I made the "error 404, page not found" page on my daily puzzle website a secret stacking puzzle zeepza.com/404

404 FOUND!! (this is a screenshot of 404, the secret stacking puzzle game on zeepza)

Would love to check it out and feedback welcome!

Added revealing the answers when you lose all your hearts!

Jake Ouellette @jakeout.com · 04/07/2026

oof that was a parsing error in the puzzle data. Fixed now! thanks!

000

Jake Ouellette @jakeout.com · 04/07/2026

updated tomorrow's puzzle to have only 1 1x2 on easy, all other difficulties have 3 or more!

010

Jake Ouellette @jakeout.com · 04/07/2026

I have a validator wired up for wordbox but the one for letter drop was not pulling it's weight! Thank you for the feedback appreciated.

120

Jake Ouellette @jakeout.com · 03/07/2026

if you refresh, does it still show this puzzle, (if not, I need to check my caching!)

130

Jake Ouellette @jakeout.com · 03/07/2026

This helped me though, I added the difficulty selector to the daily challenge to help make it easier for folks to find! Really appreciate all feedback!

110

Jake Ouellette @jakeout.com · 03/07/2026

I noticed this playing today's too, appreciated!

000

Jake Ouellette @jakeout.com · 03/07/2026

Thank you, I'll work on some of the clarity! The idea was supposed to be like connections where there is one completely valid set

110

Jake Ouellette @jakeout.com · 03/07/2026

Feedback has been super helpful on zeepza so far! My favorite thing of giving it to other people is how quickly they find things that should have been obvious to you

000

Jake Ouellette @jakeout.com · 03/07/2026

Both great feedback, thank you. (I swapped out today's letterdrop because that was quite unfair)

010

Jake Ouellette @jakeout.com · 03/07/2026

Thank you! I did a late swap of a letter, and missed this. Will fix. Really appreciate the catch.

Jake Ouellette @jakeout.com · 03/07/2026

Thanks! Would be curious if the "easy mode" ones were any more fun for her (easy mode math has more hinting)
