Zoey Foley (née Dustin) is a puzzle creator currently living in Denver, Colorado. Below is a sampling of the variety of puzzles Zoey has made in the past and continues to make today. Enjoy!

Zoey contributed to the monthly puzzle event Puzzled Pint in May, 2021. The theme for the puzzle set was the animated show Steven Universe, but the puzzles can be solved without any knowledge of the show.

Enigma Twist, authored solely by Zoey, was a daily puzzle featured in the Brown Daily Herald from January 2008 to May 2009. Within a rectangle the size of a comic strip, a new puzzle type appeared daily, ranging from classics to newly invented originals. Some weeks featured five different puzzle types based on a single theme. Post-2009, more puzzles in the same style have occasionally been added to this site.

The New York Times published one of Zoey’s crosswords on April 6, 2009. A few days prior, her puzzle was also used in the 2009 Boston Crossword Tournament and the 2009 Brown University Crossword Tournament, both hosted by Will Shortz.

The Daily Puzz is a quick daily diversion available exclusively to Zoey’s former coworkers. A different puzzle type is featured every week, with a new puzzle every weekday. First starting as a very frequent puzzle contributor, Zoey was then selected by the founder of the Puzz to be the co-editor. She volunteered her time to test-solve and revise puzzle submissions, select entries for publication, and contribute an average of one week of puzzles every month. Below is a sample of her contributions.

These are a few of Zoey's larger mini-extravaganzas.

Upon request, Zoey has created small sets of interrelated puzzles to supply extra entertainment at holiday parties. Single holiday puzzles:
