Volcanodle
Puzzle #98 was Solo, El.
El Solo is large stratovolcano composed of nine eruptive centers located west of Nevados del Ojos de Salado and SE of Tres Cruces volcano. The 6205-m-high volcano was the source of major rhyodacitic pyroclastic-flow deposits erupted during the Holocene that thickly fill adjacent valleys (González-Ferrán, 1995).

What the record says
Puzzle 98 ran on 15 Oct 2026 and the answer was Solo, El, played with 6 guesses against 8 columns. On the record: Country - Chile-Argentina; Region - South America Volcanic Regions; Type - stratovolcano; Tectonic setting - subduction; Elevation - >5000; Rock type - dacite; Historically observed - not-observed. 1 of the 8 columns is blank in the source (Last eruption), so nobody could score it either way.
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.
