My take on it is the cryptic word-finding puzzle browser game called Redactle. I just made it available to the public today, and I'm eager to spread the word about it! The straightforward goal is to determine the title and subject of an article that was randomly selected from Wikipedia. The only catch is that the content of the article has been edited so that it only contains punctuation and a few terms that are generally understood. Because the list of the 10,000 most important articles on Wikipedia is used to select each problem, there is no possibility that a one-paragraph page on some obscure town in the middle of nowhere will be chosen by accident. However, there are some Redactles that are extremely challenging to comprehend.
