Featured Puzzle: Akari (Light Up) #2

ByJacob Valdez

Place candles in the grid in such a way to illuminate all of the unlit cells in the grid, using number clues and walls. Numbers on the walls indicate how many candles are placed orthogonally adjacent to them. Walls also block light.

  • Candles (bulbs) shine in all four orthogonal directions, until blocked by a wall or the border. They do not light up any cells in diagonal directions.
  • You may not place a candle in the light path of another candle.
  • Numbered walls indicate candles placed orthogonally adjacent to them. For example, a wall numbered 4 will have a candle above, below, and to its left and right.
  • Candles placed diagonally adjacent to a numbered cell do not count toward the limit.
  • Walls without numbers may have any amount of candles placed next to them, as long as all other rules are followed.

Featured Puzzle: Miti #2

A common puzzle mechanic involves creating a loop that passes through every cell of the grid. In most of them, you have to draw a line through the centers of each cell, with restrictions based around numbers, circles, or blocked cells. Miti works a little differently. Yes, your goal is still to create a single looping path that passes through all cells. However, this time, you’re drawing the walls, not the path.
