March 2026

AI-powered search. Type what you’re looking for and get real recommendations. Search “I’m reading Hatchet with my 5th graders” and it’ll find activities that actually match. It even generates custom Not Like The Others puzzles on the fly for any book title.

Tell Your Story kit. 4 new videos for GT coordinators. Walks you through how to explain your program to parents, teachers, and administrators. Includes a ready-to-use “We Do Not / Instead We” worksheet.

Puzzlement Links archive. Three years of weekly puzzlement links, all searchable in one place. Find that one puzzle about black holes from last October.

Accessibility improvements. Screen reader support, keyboard navigation, and skip links across the site. We completed a full WCAG 2.1 AA audit and fixed what needed fixing. If your district asks about accessibility, we have the documentation.
