playingatdetection.com · a site they built themselves
Playing Detective - Thoughts on mystery fiction and games publishes writing about mystery & crime at playingatdetection.com, a site they built themselves. Last published September 2025. Vouched for by 1 other writer in the index. Not in the top million domains: the big engines have never ranked it.
Counted from links on their own pages whose paths carry a year and a month. That reaches only the pages the crawl has seen, so early years may be undercounted.
Every writer in the index by years since their earliest evidence. This writer: 3, from the earliest date the crawl saw. The index reads front pages, so it sees most writers as younger than they are.
Single words from their own pages, weighted by how rare each is across the 4,473 sites in the index. The small number is how many sites in the index use the word at all. Never a line of the writing.
1 writer in the index keep a link to this site. What they call it is printed as they wrote it.
They link to Ah Sweet Mystery!, Classic Mystery, Mysteries Ahoy!, The Invisible Event.

Why search does not surface this site, and why that is the machine's problem.
Hearts show once a writer reaches three. No account, no cookie.
Every figure on this page was measured from the site itself and says where it came from. Nothing is quoted from the writing and nothing is written by a model. Something wrong? One email corrects it: hello@longhandalmanac.com. Want out of the index? Same address, or two lines in your robots.txt (how), and this page is gone the next morning.
