Puzzle Stats

See which puzzles readers are actually finishing, without a separate analytics tool.

Open EV Puzzles SettingsStats to see every crossword, word search, and Checkered Force game you've created, with two running totals for each:

MetricWhat it counts
PlaysEach time the puzzle successfully loads for a visitor (counted once per browser tab, so refreshing the page doesn't inflate it).
CompletionsCrossword: the reader clicks “Check for mistakes” with every word filled in correctly. Word search: every word has been found. Checkered Force: the reader wins the game.

Worth knowing

A crossword solved perfectly but never checked via “Check for mistakes” won't register as a completion — and “View Solution”/“Show solution” never counts as one either, since that's giving up rather than solving it.
