Meet Our Reviewer
Last updated: November 9, 2026
Every hint and answer on WordHint passes through one pair of hands before it goes live: Murtaza Ali, our Content Reviewer. This page introduces him, explains what he checks, and tells you why the role exists at all.
Background
Murtaza reviews puzzle content for a living, and his job on this site is narrow and specific: read every Pips hint and answer, play the board it describes, and confirm that the words match the board. He does not write the daily hints, and he does not decide what the site covers. His job is to catch mistakes before a reader does.
What Murtaza checks before a page goes live
First, the dominoes: does the tray on the page match the tray on the official board, domino for domino? Second, the placements: does every hint describe a placement that is actually possible on the board, in the right rows and columns? Third, the zones: does every placement satisfy the mark on its zone, whether that mark is an exact total, an equals sign, a greater than or less than sign, or a not equal sign? Fourth, the answers: does the solved board use every domino, and does every zone check out? If any of those four checks fails, the page does not go live until it is fixed.
Why this page exists
A hints site asks you to trust it with your morning puzzle, and trust should come with a name attached. This page exists so you know who is checking the work, what they check, and what they are responsible for. If a hint is wrong, it is not an anonymous mistake. It is a mistake that got past a named reviewer, and that reviewer is the person who fixes it.
Questions or corrections?
If you found a mistake in a hint or an answer, tell us through the Contact page, and include the date and the board. Your message goes to the same check Murtaza does, and a real error is corrected the same day it is confirmed.
