Durham puzzle set published by Palatinate with crossword, sudoku and quiz challenges

Palatinate has published a new puzzle edition featuring several challenges created for readers connected with Durham and campus life.

Puzzles 888 includes a crossword, sudoku and quiz, alongside two themed word games: “Campus Compendium” and “Durham Connections”. The page also credits the creators behind each feature.

What is included

• Word Ladders: “Campus Compendium”, by Cassidy Plautz.
• Connections: “Durham Connections”, by Joseph O’Keeffe.
• A crossword made by Mulholland using the Amuse Labs crossword builder.
• A sudoku created by Joseph O'Keeffe with Amuse Labs’ free sudoku creator.
• An AI-generated quiz constructed by Joseph O'Keeffe.

The edition is identified as “Puzzles 888 – Wednesday 1st October 2025” on the Palatinate page. However, the supplied page text also displays July 17, 2026, so the publication date is unclear.
