Volcanodle
Puzzle #24 was Edziza.
The composite felsic stratovolcano Mount Edziza and associated satellitic lava domes and pyroclastic cones were constructed over the past 7.5 million years during five magmatic cycles beginning with eruption of alkali basalts and ending with felsic and basaltic eruptions as late about 1,000 years ago.

What the record says
Puzzle 24 ran on 2 Aug 2026 and the answer was Edziza, played with 6 guesses against 8 columns. On the record: Country - Canada; Region - North America Volcanic Regions; Type - stratovolcano; Tectonic setting - intraplate; Elevation - 1500-3000; Last eruption - older-Holocene; Rock type - trachyte-phonolite; Historically observed - observed.
Beyond the grid the record adds Largest recorded eruption - VEI 3; Holocene eruptions recorded - 4 eruptions.
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.
