Web puzzle by Logan Williams: find the longest non-repeating station path on the NYC Subway, with a new start station each day.
Key Takeaways
Start station rotates daily; today’s is Pelham Bay Park on the 6 line.
Goal is to maximize subway stations visited without repeating any, transferring before hitting a terminal.
The constraint “transfer before the end of the line” adds graph-traversal complexity beyond a simple longest-path search.
Built as a daily game, suggesting a Wordle-style cadence with a shared solving experience.
Hacker News Comment Review
The one comment is pure sardonic humor about real NYC subway dysfunction (delays, electrical issues, express-going-local) rather than any technical critique of the puzzle.
No substantive discussion of the algorithm, graph implementation, or game mechanics has emerged yet.
