Puzzle (n.) A game, toy, or problem designed to test ingenuity or knowledge.
Praxis (n.) The process of applying the theory of an art, science, or skill, in a practical way.
This series aims to demonstrate several interesting puzzle ideas and ciphers that I have accumulated over the last few years. My goal was to produce “simple, straightforward, and uncommon puzzles that I would enjoy solving myself”. Creating these puzzles has been a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy them too!
Most of the codes and ciphers can be accessed from a well-known toolbox…
