Data confirmation (DC) - PuzzleServer/mainpuzzleserver GitHub Wiki

Some puzzles will have the tag (DC) tag or "Data confirmation" This means that the puzzle's response system is set up to confirm pieces of the puzzle. For example, a crossword with the DC tag will tell players that they can submit each crossword answer and expect a confirmation of some kind that their submission was part of the puzzle.


  1. Add the "DC" logo to your puzzle page.
    The logo will be created by one of the Puzzleday planning members (usually Dana) that you can download and stick in your puzzle.
    Note: During alpha testing, the logo might not have been created yet. In this case, simply note on the puzzle that it has data confirmation and the webifier (the person who will convert your puzzle to its final HTML form) will handle it.
  2. Check the "HasDataConfirmation" on the properties page.
  3. Set up your responses for all the partial answers into the system.
    Full instructions on how to add responses can be found in the [answers and responses wiki] (https://github.com/PuzzleServer/mainpuzzleserver/wiki/Puzzle-setup#step-3-add-answers-and-responses)
    Note that you will need a response for every submission you consider valid (e.g. you will need one for "CLOCK" and another for "CLOCKS" if you want both to be a partial).
