Featured Puzzle: Find the Hidden Pirate Fleet!

  • Lighthouse Battleships with Pirates

Avast, ye landlubbers! See if ye can solve this puzzle for Talk Like a Pirate Day!

A hidden pirate fleet is on the move! Below the grid are the ships that approach through a dense fog, and your only chance is the lighthouses. Each one sees at least part of a ship – the number in the lens is how many segments they see in their row or column.

Ships may not touch a lighthouse or another ship in any direction, not even diagonally, but they may be rotated. Revealed segments are exactly the ship part shown.

Find them and send the scallywags to the briney deep, before they plunder us all!

This type of puzzle is called Lighthouse Battleships. Be on the lookout for a full tutorial soon!
