10/09/2026: Unsolved Puzzles
Of the v3.6 puzzles, ‘mystica’s dream’, ‘the altar part ii’, and ‘insight’ remain unsolved. What’s particularly interesting to me about these 3 puzzles, is that I consciously made efforts to improve their ‘AI resistance’. I have been trying to avoid AI ‘one-shots’ for some time now, but it has become increasingly challenging.
In making these efforts, I may have also increased player resistance - but I am hopeful that the flashes of insight required to figure these puzzles out, will ultimately be very human ones, even if a little assistance was required somewhere along the way :)
For those newer players, it’s worth considering that it has not been unusual for new wyfio puzzles to go many weeks, or months, prior to being solved. The infamous ‘x x’ went unsolved for almost a full calendar year before being solved first time around, and then more than another year still until someone else figured it out.
And it is since ‘x x’ really, that I have gained confidence in leaving puzzles unsolved. That is, without design changes, without supplemental hints of any kind. For some, ‘x x’ became one of their favourite puzzles. Whether a similar fate awaits any of the 3.6 ‘three’ remains to be seen.
So I will leave you with this...
