How it is built, by role
The same roles apply across the whole collection. Nothing in this block is specific to this site; what the site says about itself is quoted word for word below it.
- 1
Edge network
Visitors reach a site through an edge layer: a content delivery network with a web application firewall in front of it.
- 2
Application host
The edge talks to an application host that serves the site and renders its pages.
- 3
Data
What the pages show comes from a relational database or, for a site pre-rendered at build time, from data files built into its release.
- 4
Scheduled measurement
The collection measures its sites on a schedule: content dates and site health nightly, page counts read from each site’s sitemap weekly. Every reading is kept with its date. A site too large to re-walk is not re-measured, and shows no trend.
- 5
Public status feed
A monitoring panel sends a signed report on uptime, deploys and backups once a day, and the Operations page publishes it. A figure on this page that comes from that report says so.
In the site's own words
Each passage is copied unaltered from a page the site publishes, with the address it was taken from and the date we took it. We add nothing between them.
“Puzzle Pastime publishes six free puzzles every day — a themed word search, a five-clue mini crossword, sudoku in two gentle strengths, a nostalgia trivia quiz, a memory match, and Yesteryear, our own guess-the-year game.”
“We make no cognitive-health or brain-training claims, ever.”
“The word search, sudoku and memory decks are generated fresh each day by our own tested generators.”
“The crossword clues, trivia questions and Yesteryear history clues are written and fact-checked by hand — every trivia answer and every Yesteryear clue is a well-established, verifiable fact, because a wrong answer in a trivia game for people who remember the events first-hand is unforgivable.”
“Grid squares around a centimetre and a half, stark black-on-white contrast, and word lists printed as large as the grids.”
“That is a deliberate choice, not a missing feature — a word search where letters could run any which way asks you to check every direction at every letter, which turns a relaxing few minutes into hard work.”
“We also keep two free shelves of ready-made sheets: printable quiz sheets on a range of nostalgia topics, and Yesteryear guess-the-year sheets, each with its answers at the back.”
“Use the contact page — corrections are especially welcome; if we’ve got a fact wrong, we want to fix it.”
