Can I link to a specific puzzle?

Of course. Every puzzle has a number, and you can link straight to it: puzzles.flogvit.com/eng/codoku?nr=100. Replace 100 with the puzzle number — handy for challenging a friend with the very same puzzle.

Are the puzzles free to use?

Yes, this is a free service. If you want to publish the puzzles elsewhere you must arrange it first — see copyright.
