Osman E. “Otto” (ID: 000000c76f15447e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/13/2021 I wish it was able to work on Fandom wikies.

Audrey Beal (ID: 0000008705f67c81) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/25/2020 While the idea is good, and it's executed well enough, the information and articles used to generate clues are not always present or linked to on the page you're viewing. As clicking to a different tab, or outside the extension window, closes the extension and loses the entire puzzle (as it's generated each time you activate it), you can't really look for the information anywhere else. If it was easier to do this and didn't require multiple levels of reading to solve without a second device, it would be much better.
