My hints for Zork III (with Zork I and II coming soon)

I have created an interactive hint document for the game Zork III by Infocom, and I am working on ones for the other games of the original Zork trilogy.

These hints are in the form of a website, where you search for the terms of interest, but are also available as a Z-code story file which you can play in any Z-machine interpreter. They are made using Hintweaver – I made another thread about it so discussion about the program is kept separate from discussion about these hints.

Any and all feedback about my hints, or the system to provide them, would be very welcome, especially if people who know the game really well could double check my solutions, as I want these hints to be something people can trust. Roast away!

I’ve tried to make the general tone be like talking to a good friend, with a bit of humor to keep it from being too dry, but not enough to be annoying (I hope :smile:).

The website is here: https://andwj.gitlab.io/hint
