I really enjoy hand curated puzzles. You can feel the topical nature of the puzzles and spin on current events, like the categories in games like Connections. I wanted something similar, but a word guessing game. A game with clues that followed this pattern of puzzle creation. I found a method that allows me to inject topical/current events, the time of the year, moods, and more into a system that will always produce unique results that makes each puzzle feel as if it was labored over for weeks. That's the basic idea and I began to run with it. I spent the following 4 weeks obsessed with puzzle creation methods.

Scoring: I also always felt that daily games lacked a certain fairness to their scoring. If I solved a puzzle in 1 minute, but my friend took 10 hours we still received the same score. I didn't like that approach. I spent a lot of time balancing the score system in Raveled.
