Update!

(15 August) The database should now be fixed, so there are no more stray funny characters... but there may still be glitches. I just discovered that all of the Peanuts puzzles had disappeared, because "artist=peanuts" was not matching "Peanuts"; so there is more to do in sorting out case-insensitive matching.

Database problem!

Apologies! A recent database upgrade has left lots of Japanese text corrupted, and also some variant characters, such as the e-acute in "Pokémon," not showing correctly. I am working to correct this but may take some days...

申し訳ありません 現在、データーベースの問題でほとんどのパズルの詳細などの日本語が文字化けになっています。修復するまで何日かかかるかも知れません。ご了承ください。

Reaching 1000 titles!

Blog entry for February 2011

Puzzle supplies are always a bit unstable over the New Year period, but everything is getting back to normal now. With our last order, many of the out-of-stock puzzles we were waiting for arrived, but quite a number now turn out to have been discontinued. But we are also getting new puzzles up at a rate of knots now, and should reach the magic figure — 1000 in stock — very soon. There are too many to show all of the new puzzles on this page, so please explore the links...
