Hi Valerie,

I’ve been enjoying solving puzzles on this site for a long time — thank you for all the effort you’ve put into keeping it running smoothly over the years!

Since hosting and maintenance are not free, I’d love to contribute. Is there a way I can make a donation?

Thanks again,

Adrian

Excellent question. I was just wondering the same thing.

I'd throw something in!

It's only fair to pay a little rent, since I live here!

Thanks Adrian, Joanne, and Bill -- that's really nice of you. The site is not that expensive to run, so I don't currently have a way to send funding.

If you use the Books page to buy puzzle books (or if you use the links on that page to go to Amazon and then buy anything there, even if you buy things that are not what you originally clicked on), that sends in a few cents eventually, but web standards have changed and the Books page doesn't currently work very well. I've thought about replacing that page with some kind of donations link -- maybe a Patreon or some other way to send in donations. But also it's fine to use the site without donating anything. It's really nice of you to offer!

If you ever find yourself in southern New England, you have drinks, dinner and wonderful conversation waiting for you.

Thanks Bill! It would be neat to someday get a bunch of webpbn people together somewhere.

It would be like a family reunion of people you've never met.
