See which puzzles readers are actually finishing, without a separate analytics tool.
Open EV Puzzles Settings→Stats to see every crossword, word search, Checkered Force game, Dots and Boxes game, and Interactive Quiz you've created, with two running totals for each:
Metric
What it counts
Plays
Each time the puzzle successfully loads for a visitor (counted once per browser tab, so refreshing the page doesn't inflate it).
Completions
Crossword: the reader clicks “Check for mistakes” with every word filled in correctly. Word search: every word has been found. Checkered Force: the reader wins the game. Dots and Boxes: the game reaches its natural end (every line drawn), whether that reader wins, loses, or ties. Interactive Quiz: the reader reaches a scene with no further Next/action link, regardless of score.
The Puzzle Stats admin page listing puzzles with plays/completions.
Worth knowing
A crossword solved perfectly but never checked via “Check for mistakes” won't register as a completion — and “View Solution”/“Show solution” never counts as one either, since that's giving up rather than solving it.
