What on earth does this mean?! ✅ MMMMMMMM Its a visual puzzle... read it again... say it aloud... getting closer... count the number of letters, you get it!? Harry and I love puzzles like this so we wanted to build a wordle frequency app for this type of puzzle. have fun!

I love cryptic crosswords and word puzzles but there wasn't a great daily "wordle" equivalent in the rebus (a.k.a dingbats) puzzles world, I wanted to play it enough to build it - but i quickly realised it's not very fun to play your own puzzles.
So i built a complex, ai agent flow to autonomously spoon feed me puzzles, they were a mix of:
1. incredibly obvious (e.g. answer written straight in plain text)
2. completely incomprehensible (e.g. no idea how you could get the answer from the image)
so i "improved" the system by adding more agents to check the work of the agents and rate the subtlety and solvability of puzzles using a range of complex heuristics.
which worked well since it filtered out 100% of the ai generated puzzles, then i added some feedback loops from these agents to the puzzle generation agent...
which made it very expensive to run...
ultimately, a friend of mine told me how much he also loves these types of puzzles, so we deleted (most) of the ai agents - and we use more basic tooling to set each-other puzzles each day.
have fun.

i like that we ended up not making it completely AI driven. Notes of General Mills' adding of the egg to the cake mix story.
