Puzzler Scoreboard

Welcome to the Puzzler Scoreboard, a running tally of Puzzler winners. We will award cash prizes to the three highest scorers at the end of the year, with winners announced in April and prizes awarded in May.

Scoreboard Rules:

• Each week, three points will be awarded to the first-place winner, two points will be awarded to the second-place winner, and one point to the third-place winner.
• In the case of a tie, each winner will be awarded the allotted points.
• In tournaments, the points will be cumulative throughout the weeks. For instance, in a four-week tournament, the first-place winner will receive twelve points, the second-place winner will receive eight points, and the third-place winner will receive four points.
• Creators of user-submitted Puzzlers are awarded five points one week after their Puzzler is featured.

Puzzler Scoreboard Rankings

We invite you to send us your suggestions for Puzzler questions. If your suggestion is chosen, you will be credited as the author of the questions and receive five points toward your Puzzler Scoreboard ranking.

A question submitted for consideration must be accompanied by the answer as well as by a citation or source material to verify the accuracy of the question and answer.

We welcome Puzzler ideas and questions pertaining to the art, lore, personalities, events, characters, agents, intermediaries, and publishers of literature, past and present. We especially want questions and ideas that cannot be answered by a quick Internet search and that are multifaceted, amusing, and add to our store of knowledge. Please send your suggestions to Puzzler.
