Volcanodle
Puzzle #110 was Olca-Paruma.
A 15-km-long E-W ridge forming the border between Chile and Bolivia is comprised of several stratovolcanoes with Holocene lava flows. Andesitic-dacitic lava flows extend as far as 5 km N from the active crater of Volcán Olca and to the north and west from vents farther to the west. Olca is flanked on the west by Cerro Michincha and on the east by Volcán Paruma, which is immediately west of the higher pre-Holocene Cerro Paruma volcano.

What the record says
Puzzle 110 ran on 27 Oct 2026 and the answer was Olca-Paruma, played with 6 guesses against 8 columns. On the record: Country - Chile-Bolivia; Region - South America Volcanic Regions; Type - stratovolcano; Tectonic setting - subduction; Elevation - >5000; Rock type - andesite; Historically observed - observed. 1 of the 8 columns is blank in the source (Last eruption), so nobody could score it either way.
Beyond the grid the record adds Holocene eruptions recorded - 1 eruption.
Volcanodle builds its record from Global Volcanism Program, Smithsonian Institution (Venzke, E. (ed.), Volcanoes of the World, volcano.si.edu). The description above comes from the same place the game credits on every reveal: A verbatim excerpt of the volcano's GVP Geological Summary. The puzzle itself is still playable in the archive, and every answer that has been and gone is listed on the past-answers page.
