Free, just a username and passphrase, no email. Caches you build show up in My Caches so you can reopen and edit them without hunting for the edit link, and watch plays and wins. The same account syncs My Puzzle Texts across devices and manages your short links.

Caches you build here are saved to your account, so you can reopen and edit them in My Caches without the edit link.
Triples is a one-step slider. Each swipe shifts every tile on the board one cell in that direction, not a full slide. A 1 and a 2 sitting next to each other join into a 3. Two matching tiles of 3 or higher join into the next one up: 3+3 makes 6, 6+6 makes 12, 12+12 makes 24, and so on. Two 1s or two 2s never join. A player who actually reaches the goal tile has the cache revealed. The game is checked on the server by replaying the exact moves, so the final coordinates or keyword never sit in the page for a player to peek at, and a faked win will not pass.
Save this link now. Without the key you cannot edit or delete this puzzle (only the site admin can reset it).
Your puzzle
Shown to players as a link to your cache page.
Only the site admin can see this, in case they need to reach you about your cache. Never shown to players.
The tile a player must build to win. Tiles run 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and up. 384 is the full challenge. 96 or lower is friendlier and faster, so more finders will reach it.
On win, reveal
Shown only after a player reaches your goal tile. Reveal either the final coordinates or a keyword, not both.
