Show HN: Gossipdle – Daily Logic Puzzle with a New Timed Challenge Mode

https://www.gossipdle.com
2•Qpphello•2mo ago
I built Gossipdle, a daily logic puzzle where you decide who is guilty or innocent in a 5×5 grid of 20 characters, using only logical clues (no guessing allowed).

Each correct mark reveals a new clue, so you solve the puzzle as a chain of small deductions. Themes change daily (office gossip, campus drama, nightclubs, etc.), but the underlying puzzle is a clean Einstein-style logic grid.

I’ve just shipped a Timed Challenge Mode:

A separate puzzle from the main daily one (so you effectively get two puzzles per day) Difficulty-based time limits (Mon–Tue easier, Sat–Sun hardest, with more time) 3 attempts per day; when the timer hits zero, that run is over No hints in timed mode – pure reasoning under pressure State persists across refresh/close, and there are checks around New York midnight so you don’t start a run when there isn’t enough time left in the day If you like structured logic puzzles (Einstein riddles, nonograms, Sudoku-style deduction) and want a daily “thinky” game with a speedrun variant, I’d love feedback on:

How the difficulty feels Whether the timed mode is fair/fun Any rough spots in the UX

In the 3rd december puzzle, B4's clue is:

Exactly 2 of the 3 innocents in column A are Iris's neighbor

A2, A4 (from clue B4), A5 (from clue A4) are innocent. Clue B4 implies A1 and A3 must be guilty because column A already has 3 innocents, however the game claims there is not enough evidence to mark these two as guilty.

Also,the game site talks about giving feedback but doesn't seem to have any contact info.

For Mon, Dec 8, 2025 (high seas scandal):

Themed mode: https://www.gossipdle.com?snapshot=N4IgDiBcDaAMA0BGeDmqRhX4C...

The hint says "Forensic accounting proves Head Bartenders have the highest embezzling ratio of all professions" means definitively that the Head Bartender is embezzling? But I'm not sure why that is, as the wording of the hint doesn't indicate that ALL Head Bartenders are embezzlers, unless it means "highest ratio" is literally 1.0.

In non-themed mode: Gossipdle Tue, Dec 9, 2025

https://www.gossipdle.com?snapshot=N4IgDiBcDaAMA0CBMjXPgRk9r...

The hint says "There are more innocents than criminals in row 3" implies there are 3 innocents and 1 criminal? But I'm not sure why that is, because if there were 4 innocents and 0 criminals, it would still be true that there were more innocents than criminals in row 3.

Also the page says to report issues in a specific format but it's not clear how to actually do that?

Also it seems like the themed version and the plain version take you to different days late in the day (Dec 8 vs Dec 9 just prior to 9PM MST).
