Featured Puzzle: Alternate Corners #4 – National Avocado Day

Ah, the delicious avocado, full of healthy fats, and staple of the keto diet. In 2017, a meal delivery service, Model Meals, declared July 31st to be National Avocado Day, celebrating the peak of the California production season. Sadly, Model Meals is gone, but the holiday lives on. Go enjoy a delicious avocado today!

In honor of the holiday, I’ve reskinned an Alternate Corners puzzle with cute little avocados. Draw a single loop which passes through every cell of the grid.

Featured Puzzle: Apple Tree #1

They say that an apple a day keeps the doctors away. Today, we celebrate another fun internet holiday – Eat a Red Apple Day. The idea is to eat a healthy snack today to offset the sheer abundance of cookies, candies, and other foods we typically indulge in during the holiday season. Yeah, a sweet fruit might not be the best option, but according to the saying, it must be healthy, right?

Featured Puzzle: Apple Tree #2 – Happy Johnny Appleseed Day!

Johnny Appleseed, born John Chapman, is an American folk hero. During his lifetime, he championed natural conservation, and introduced apple trees across much of the northern United States. Interestingly, this is one of two holidays celebrating Johnny – the other is in September. Naturally, this is a great reason to play another Apple Tree puzzle! Draw lines to connect all apples in the tree with the trunk.

Featured Puzzle: Aquariums #1 – Aegir Sea Festival

In Norse mythology, Aegir was a Frost Giant that was also god of the sea. He was also the brewer for the Asgardian pantheon. One of his better-known feats is that when emptied, his mugs would magically refill with more ale.

To celebrate this ancient sea god, I wanted to showcase a Aquariums puzzle. The key to figuring these out is to think about how water flows. Shade cells in some regions to represent water inside them.
