Featured Puzzle: Retrograde Battleships #3 – Candy Box

ByJacob Valdez

Everyone loves candy, so you picked up a gift box. The problem is, they only want a specific set of pieces, and none of them can touch each other, even diagonally. Can you deduce which of the possible placements to fill in with the candy that fits their preference?

  • The requested candy pieces are shown outside the grid. All of them must be used exactly once.
  • Candy pieces may be rotated.
  • No candy piece in the grid may touch any other piece in any direction.
  • Some grids have black cells with no candy.
  • Harder puzzles may include two-way candy pieces that, if used, can only be part of one candy.

This is a themed Retrograde Battleships puzzle. Learn to solve them with our Solving Guide.

Delicious, although it seems a waste to not fill the rest of the box. Oh well, more for you!
