the usual pay what you want prompt isn’t there!

Hmm. I've described the game as "Free" in several places and I don't want to bug people about paying before they play it.

I might release a bonus puzzle in a week or so and put the pay-what-you-want there? There's one piece of design space I wasn't able to use in the original...

Hi! We had a great time with this. Thank you so much for sharing your creation. If you have a tip jar we'd love to drop in a few bucks.

I've finally created a Ko-Fi page. No pressure to donate. https://ko-fi.com/playcebo

P.S. Unrelatedly, I'd like to recommend a free puzzle book called Bobogram, filled with some challenging but very fun rule-discovery grid puzzles: https://uiqoo.kr/bobogram/ (I learned about it via the Thinky Puzzle Game community.)

Cool! I'm gonna try it out! Were you inspired by BoBoGram in the making of this puzzle?

Also, I'm reading that BoBoGram was inspired by Abdec: https://letibus.itch.io/abdec, another pencil and paper "discover the rules" puzzle!

Nope, Bobogram was way after (and it didn't consciously influence any updates). I was inspired by ABDEC's predecessor LOK -- which just came out on Steam today! Big fan of ABDEC as well, though I regretfully looked up answers on two puzzles.

(First prototype of 12 Word Searches = Dec 2022, Abdec releases and I play it = March 2023, 12 Word Searches v1.0 = Oct 2023, I play Bobogram = June 2024)

It's crazy how I discovered all this right as LOK was releasing! Anyway, I know my Christmas plans now: doing all these!
