The masquerade ball is in full swing, but you realize that shapeshifting monsters have mixed into the crowd. Fortunately, they don’t fully grasp logical instructions. Many of your guests wore the same costume, and you ask them to stand in a grid where nobody in any row or column is dressed the same. Any duplicates must be doppelgängers!
Fill the triangles in the grid with the numbers 1-9 so that there are no duplicates in any large triangular region or along any stripe of cells, even those that skip over the middle.
Love and dating is all about making human connection. In that spirit, today we’ll play a variant of Ichimaga, a puzzle all about connections.
I really liked the concept behind Index Sums puzzles. Do a little mild arithmetic based on the values of rows and columns, and shade the appropriate cells to reach the given totals. I use a chalkboard for the look in several other puzzle types, so why not a whiteboard here?
September 9th is International Sudoku Day! So, today’s puzzle is Jigsaw Sudoku. The rules are pretty much the same as regular Sudoku, with irregular regions instead of 3×3.
February is mostly associated with Valentine’s Day here in the US. So for these first couple of weeks, enjoy the theme of love and lots of pink and red. Kakuro requires some addition to create the sums shown. So, we could say it’s about bringing people together?
Today, we’re playing Kin-Kon-Kan, a puzzle about placing mirrors. Draw a diagonal line in only one cell within each region.
Shade four cells in each region to place exactly one L, I, T, or S-tetromino there. Shaded cells form one orthogonally contiguous area.
Today, we have a “couples” variant of L.I.T.S. Normally, you need to shade 4 cells in each region to place a single tetromino. In Double L.I.T.S., you must shade a total of 8 cells, to place two tetrominoes in each region.
Shade four cells in each region to place exactly one L, I, T, or S-tetromino there. Shaded cells form one orthogonally contiguous area.
