Puzzle Wanderer Important Update

In the 3-4 months of Puzzle Wanderer’s existence, I went through an important hoop.

From no knowledge and skills of writing blogs or managing a site, to a level I’m honestly very proud of.

The more heart I put in my posts, the more thoughts and site developments, I saw that my posts started to actually resonate with people.

And that people enjoy reading them.

It wasn’t only a huge discovery for me,

But also one of the best things I’ve experienced in my life.

Another year went by, and with it more puzzles solved.

For me this year has been the year I came back from a long puzzling hiatus.

The reason for that?

Lockdowns.

While 2020 was a very challenging year to all, it brought up the puzzling hobby for many people, myself included.

 Try to unlock it normally and you'll be left in shock.
