  • Shirokuro Puzzle for Dia de los Muertos

Día de los Muertos is almost here, and some people still need to connect with their ancestors. Draw a vertical or horizontal line to connect each of the living with one of the dead.

  • The dead are represented by sugar skulls. Duplicates are purely coincidental.
  • Each living face will connect to only one of the dead, and vice versa.
  • Connection lines may not cross each other.

This is a themed Shirokuro puzzle. Be on the lookout for a future Solving Guide.

Featured Puzzle: Gemini Sudoku #1

In Gemini Sudoku, you’re given a pair of Sudoku grids. The grid on the right works like a cipher for the grid on the left. Wherever a digit appears in the left grid, it maps to a specific digit in the same position in the right grid. For example 4 in the left grid might map to a 6 in the right grid. This means that for every 4 you discover on the left, you can place a 6 in the same position on the right.
