I thought it was broken when it wouldn't accept an answer I gave for level 2. Turns out I was on the right track but had the wrong word. I somehow feel like my answer was also correct but they just didn't think of it...

Not trying spoil it for anyone else though so I won't give details. I will say if you think you are on to something and it just doesn't work as a correct answer, keep trying. You might be right but they thought of something else for an answer.

Warning: Spoilers about an incorrect solution below. rot13 at your own peril.

qvq lbh guvax bs gur jbeq gung zrnaf srznyr furrc?

(Though I guess it wouldn't have worked with the "double / single / black, blue, and grey" clues anyway...)

Edit: I'm an idiot :D

Maybe I'm particularly dense, but I can only get to the Rules page. Is the Rules page in fact the first puzzle?

Yes. Don't want to spoil it but I got stuck in the same place for a bit. So, yes, you're on to something, just keep trying!

If you've read more than half the rules, you're at least halfway there!

Yes.

I love the simplicity of these puzzles.

Hint: look at the source code to solve many of these.

This is so simple and fun. The author did a great job.

Again thanks for bringing attention to Firefox!

"Please Note: Zahada is designed for Mozilla Firefox - some riddles may not work in other browsers"

So, a browser-specific website is OK as long as it’s Firefox?

All browser-specific websites are okay when they're a hobby project you're making freely available.

Well, at least it’s not IE.

Stuck on level 4 :(

have you read the tab name?

I was randomly guessing it, and somehow I managed to land on level 8 from level 4. This is hilarious :)
