Summary

The roadmap already calls out puzzle import from URL. Bring that back as a polished flow so players can create puzzles from images they find online.

Why this matters

  • Huge replay value.
  • Lets players bring their own content into the app.
  • Creates strong shareability and creator energy.

Scope

  • Add a guided URL import flow with validation.
  • Show a preview before starting the puzzle.
  • Handle invalid URLs and failed image loads gracefully.
  • Keep the existing staged modal flow feeling intentional.

Acceptance Criteria

  • A player can paste an image URL and start a puzzle from it.
  • Broken URLs and unsupported images show helpful errors.
  • The imported puzzle works with existing play modes and completion flows.
  • The flow feels mobile-friendly and does not require a desktop-only interaction.
