SG Puzzle Central

Hi! fernandopa here.

If you create giveaways on SG, odds are you've already used some kind of puzzle to hide your link from bots — and if you haven't, you've definitely seen it done. Being a great community full of hands-on, creative people, the toolbox has grown over time and gotten really good over the past couple of years. That said, as a GA creator, sometime I ask "what are my options?" or "what was that one again?". So I figured: let's just have one place to find them all.

This thread is meant to be a living tracker of every puzzle tool that GA creators can use to hide secrets. Two tables below — one for tools built by the SG community, one for puzzle sites from outside SG that are commonly used here. I don't anticipate this being the place to post GA's - I think you should continue to post your GAs on the actual puzzle threads. This is just a map of the mine, if you will. Bookmark it, hide it, I was never here

Puzzles from outside SG

zpangwin has shared a few additional tools (more or less suited to our needs) in this OP

Help me keep this updated

Did I miss a tool? Has a thread URL gone stale? Is your own puzzle missing and you'd like it on the list? Drop a comment and I'll edit the post. Plan is to keep this current as the toolbox keeps growing.

Thanks to everyone who's poured time into building these — and to everyone who uses them to keep GAs interesting
