Who created the Puzzle English?
Alexander Antonov is the creator of the Puzzle English resource. He is the author of many successful Internet projects, and the creation of this was prompted not only by the relevance of the English language, but also by the difficulties he experienced in learning. He notes that he intentionally refused to create a multilingual resource, since people who speak different languages have different problems in learning. The project was launched in 2014. The staff initially consisted of 5 people, but was later increased. The development and launch of the project was carried out at the expense of A. Antonov, but later investors became interested in the project. Today it exists thanks to the funds of Genezis Technology Capital and SOLventures.
About 300,000 people visit the site monthly, of which approximately 20,000 return and become regular users. To increase the efficiency of the resource, the staff is working on creating a line of programs. One of the projects is an application for integrating a resource with digital television Smart TV.
