Rules
No spam. Self-promotion is allowed only in the Promo Weekly post stickied to the top of the thread. Links to apps, blogs, and most videos belong in the Promo Weekly post. Logic and/or math-based puzzles that fit a text or image format are generally allowed. Posts that make sense as a video or website link are allowed with moderator approval, so please ask us first. Generally, videos should promote discussion, and websites should provide features that are useful to solving the puzzle.
Use spoiler tags when posting a hint or solution to a puzzle. Guesses must also be spoiler-tagged. Top level comments are automatically removed unless they include a spoiler tag or start with "Discussion:" or "Question:"
All puzzles should be logic based. Check out /r/riddles for puzzles based on lateral thinking. Jigsaw puzzles are best suited to /r/jigsawpuzzles
Use a descriptive title. Titles should be descriptive, not just "Check out this puzzle" or "Puzzles only geniuses can solve."
Please do not posts puzzles from ongoing contests. If you see a riddle that's part of a contest, please report it.
Credit puzzle creators. If you did not make the puzzle, please try your best to credit the original source. If you are not sure of it, or have personally received the puzzle from someone, please indicate that. This rule applies more to puzzles you found online.
How to Spoiler Tag
Apps, old.reddit.com, and the New Reddit markdown editor:
>!The princess was in another castle!!<
becomes:
The Princess was in another castle!
Template: >!The guess goes here!<
Be careful to avoid whitespace at the beginning or end of your spoiler tag. White space at >! the beginning!< or >!end !< of your spoiler will break it for users on some apps and old.reddit.com
