Hide secret messages inside maze puzzles for others to discover
Visit wordsastray.com ↗What is Message in a Puzzle?
Message in a Puzzle is an interactive game that lets you encode hidden text within a maze. Players navigate the puzzle to uncover the concealed message, making it a playful way to share secrets or encourage word recognition. The interface offers two modes: start a random game to try existing puzzles, or create a custom game by embedding your own message into a new maze.
The creator built this with AI coding tools and originally designed it to send secret messages to their partner, though it could also serve as an educational tool for spelling practice or word learning with children.
