# Puzzlewick

> Puzzlewick is a fan-built wonder-library for playable curiosities — card games,
> Japanese decks and hanafuda, karakuri puzzle boxes, metal and mechanical puzzles,
> paper wonders (pop-up books, paper theatres, automata), gaming tables, and
> collectables. It is an editorial curation site, NOT a shop: it sells nothing and
> curates across ALL makers. Robert Pruitt is the accountable human publisher; five
> disclosed AI-assisted curator personas present research in distinct voices. Affiliate
> links are a quiet layer and never change a verdict.

## What's here
Puzzlewick publishes 217 deep, single-author guides at /guides/<slug>/ plus
2779+ supporting discovery and catalog pages. The guide corpus is written
presented in one consistent curator voice and carries: a story/history, how-it-plays, what's unique, an
honest verdict, player tips, common critiques, sourced community quotes (with links), and
a question-led FAQ. Guide pages emit Article, FAQPage, ItemList, and BreadcrumbList JSON-LD;
object pages emit Product-style shopping context where appropriate. Nothing is fabricated —
community claims are attributed or paraphrased with sources, prices/stock carry an "as of" date, and any
product we cannot verify is flagged as unverifiable rather than invented.
