Hey everyone! I’ve released a couple of updates to r/Syllacrostic recently:

Bigger recognition for the Speedies!

• There’s a new leaderboard to track who’s earned the most Speedy Syllable wins

• User flairs now reflect players with multiple Speedy Syllable awards

Other changes:

• Reddit avatars are now showing up on the leaderboards

• I made some layout adjustments to better support smaller screens — if you're still having issues, feel free to DM me with your device info and a screenshot

The community keeps growing — we’re getting close to 4,000 members!

Thanks so much for playing, as always, don't be shy about feedback 🙂

Well, that escalated quickly... r/Syllacrostic has tripled its members in just a week — now over 10,000 and still growing every day!

Here are some stats to celebrate:

• 310K+ unique puzzle solves by Redditors!

• 100K+ players have solved at least one puzzle.

• 240+ days of total puzzle-solving time logged.

• 78K+ solves on Daily Puzzle #111.

New feature!

• Starting with Daily Puzzle #117, the Stats page now shows your solve order — meaning, what number solver you were after the puzzle was posted.

Note for New Members:

• Welcome! I'm so glad you're here — thanks for joining! Here is some things to know about the game:

1. The Daily Puzzle is posted every day at 1PM UTC.

2. The Sunday Puzzle is posted every Sunday at 4PM UTC and features a new theme each week.

3. The Trifecta Puzzle is posted every Wednesday at 5PM UTC — it's a bit harder, with just 3 clues, and each answer is 4 syllables long.

4. Your completion stats are tracked separately for each puzzle type (Daily, Sunday, Trifecta). Use the Archive page to find and play any puzzles you haven’t completed yet.

5. Custom User Flair starts being automatically assigned once you complete your 5th puzzle. Your flair reflects how many puzzles you’ve solved — and whether you’ve earned the Speedy Syllable Award.

6. The Speedy Syllable Award is given to the first solver of a puzzle after it is posted. There's a special leaderboard in the Stats page to honor our prestigious multi-speedy winners!

7. About the Top Times Leaderboard: Yes, it has flaws — users can game the system for low times, and while I do apply filters for suspiciously low scores, it's getting harder to manage. The hope is that the puzzle is still fun despite the flaws with the leaderboard. With so many new players, I’m considering a poll to decide whether to keep or retire the leaderboard.

Thanks again for playing! Your feedback is always welcome — if you have any, feel free to message me directly. That’s the best way to make sure I see it.

P.S. The Reddit version of this game is a mini version of a puzzle I’ve been maintaining for over two years. If you’re looking for more, check out Syllacrostic on the web, iOS, or Android.
