Random puzzle spoiler

[Leedscot]

Don’t know if you can have a spoiler for a random puzzle, but here goes. This may have been asked before. Attaches as the 3rd person singular of attach is not known, presumably because it’s the simple plural of attache. But should it be allowed, and classed as common at that?

Actually, I'd be interested to know if there exists a rule to this effect extant here!

The only types of puzzle where "spoiler" is a meaningful concept are those that other people can play. A random puzzle, created with the selector on a daily puzzle page, as shown below, cannot be shared with anyone else. So there's no spoiler issue with them.



I think the spoiler rules could apply to a puzzle under the "Your Puzzles" tab, but only if the puzzle has been published and is still open.
