Just went for a drive to pick up my brother from his work, as his car is having issues, and while chatting about Seed Phrase Puzzles, he suggested the idea of creating much bigger ones to help promote the endeavour. These would hold significantly greater prizes, but be many, many more times difficult to solve, and very likely would sit as the 'Golden Egg' Puzzles in the background to my normal operations. For example, a puzzle might offer a prize of 60000 $Seconds (around $100 USD at the time of writing). But it could have 6-7 missing words. To design such a puzzle would take a lot longer too, as I'd do it more manually than my current method of relying on continuous AI iterations. The process would require adding in more red herrings, making the image a lot more populated, sometimes omitting letter counts and that kind of thing. I'm curious what the appetite is in the community for puzzles of this scale, at this point in time. My hope is to eventually end up doing more complicated puzzles with bigger prizes like this anyway... But is it something I should invest time in now, or wait a few weeks/months until it is no longer optional due to increased competition/resources used by players?

Great suggestion… We can have it start with the new week bro… It gonna make it competitive and could last as much as the week so it’s cool 😎 Woulda suggested omitting letter counts for each space and replace them with common vowels of 1/2 from each word with a picture that actually has about 10 possible word with same vowels for each omitted space… It could also have stages like 1; expert level, 1 medium, 1 beginner Reward varies accordingly Just a thought 💭 doh

Actually yeah, now that you put it like that, the reward structure of big to small lining up with difficulty level of hard to easy makes a lot of sense, both for me planning them and players deciding to tackle them. 🙂 I love this idea of omitting some letters in a way as to create 'shortlists' of potential BIP-39 words too. And that's what I imagined too, a Puzzle that lasts say, a week, is very exciting when it is finally solved.
