A Note from the Creator
Hi, I'm Joe Clinton, the creator of Cluque!
The idea for Cluque sparked after I found myself diving deep into the world of cryptic crosswords through some fascinating YouTube content. Initially, I saw it as a fun little project to experiment with the capabilities of Firebase AI Studio – a way to blend my newfound interest in cryptics with the exciting possibilities of AI.
What started as a simple test quickly grew into something more. I got really engrossed in the development process and the challenge of creating engaging cryptic clues. The more I worked on it, the more I realized its potential to be a fun, daily puzzle experience for others too. That's when I decided to develop Cluque into the full web application you see today.
Our Mission
Cluque's mission is simple: to provide a delightful and intriguing daily cryptic puzzle that sparks curiosity and offers a satisfying challenge. We aim to make the often-daunting world of cryptic crosswords accessible and enjoyable for everyone, whether you're a seasoned solver or just getting started.
The Future
I'm passionate about continuing to improve Cluque, adding new features, and refining the experience based on player feedback. The journey of building this app has been incredibly rewarding, and I'm excited to see where it goes next.
Thank you for being a part of the Cluque community. Happy clueing!
