Volcanodle
Puzzle #6 was Huanquihue Group.
A group of young basaltic volcanoes lies in Argentina near the Chilean border, south of LanÃn volcano. The Huanquihué volcano group consists of a NNE-SSW-trending chain of stratovolcanoes of Pleistocene age, some of which lie along the border. A Holocene compound cinder cone with three nested craters up to 400 m in diameter that occupied a valley NE of Cerro Huanquihué and a tuff cone constructed within glacial Lake Epulafquen lies at the northern end of the chain.

What the record says
Puzzle 6 ran on 15 Jul 2026 and the answer was Huanquihue Group, played with 6 guesses against 8 columns. On the record: Country - Argentina; Region - South America Volcanic Regions; Type - stratovolcano; Tectonic setting - subduction; Elevation - 1500-3000; Last eruption - older-Holocene; Rock type - basalt; Historically observed - observed.
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.
