Is the bonus puzzle for Week 12 the first bonus you've done for a week? I know it's an incentive to join the newsletter and forums and I like that, but I'm curious if new players who join/participate later will have a way to see the bonuses too?
Yes, this is the first one! That’s a great question that I haven’t quite figured out yet, though I know I need to.
Currently each bonus puzzle is its own page, but I’m thinking of integrating them into the normal navigation, after Sunday’s puzzle, but only once you unlock them via the link from the newsletter. So maybe that can unlock all past bonuses as well?
(This whole scheme can be “hacked”, but if someone cares enough to go to that much trouble but really doesn’t want to sign up for the newsletter, knock yourself out! It’s just for fun.)
