#26 - UKPA 2024 Leftovers

Image
Creating puzzles for a contest (especially an entire UKPA round) comes with leftover puzzles. I did not feel like retaining these for other purposes, as they had already been tested by a few people. In case these puzzles feel familiar, they have also been posted at the website of the Dutch puzzle federation WCPN before. Hope you will enjoy these leftovers! Snake The Snake puzzle in the contest was already my least favorite of the set, but this puzzle was not better. For some reason I feel like my Snake setting creates either bashy puzzles or super trivial puzzles, definitely something I could improve on.  Rules Shade some cells to form a 1 cell wide snake of unknown length, whose head and tail are given. The snake does not touch itself, not even diagonally. Numbers outside the grid indicate the number of cells in that row/column that are occupied by the snake. Solve on Penpa Pentominous While I really liked this puzzle, it ended up being a bit too hard to include in the contest, as...

#22 - Nurimisaki Nomad Leftovers

Image
Recently I had the pleasure of creating the daily contest  Nurimisaki Nomad  on Logic Masters India, which you can actually still solve casually when it's finished. Many puzzles that I wrote did not make it into the contest, mostly because I got too familiar with Nurimisaki after solving almost the entire puzzlink database, meaning many puzzles were based on patterns that are not trivial at all to newer solvers of the genre. Thanks a lot to test solvers Botaku and PixelPlucker for making me realize that in time, such that I could add some more puzzles that are relatively beginner friendly to the actual contest. Anyway, there are still two leftover puzzles that I'd like to show, an All 4s puzzle that I replaced by another one in the contest because of difficulty, and a Shuriken themed puzzle. The latter one I was actually very happy with, it's just that it can be a very frustrating puzzle if you don't know where to look. Enjoy these puzzles! Rules Shade some cells so th...

#27 - WPF Puzzle GP R7 2022 Practice Puzzles

Image
This is an archival post of puzzles I once posted on Discord, but felt nice to have posted here as well. I created quite a few practice puzzles for the WPF Puzzle GP Round 7 in 2022 (instruction booklet and competition puzzles are found here ), as it contained quite a few puzzles or variants I was unfamiliar with. Most practice puzzles have a similar difficulty level to the point distribution of the contest puzzles. I was quite happy with the general quality of the puzzles, which I had to set within the time span of a few days. 1. Easy As ABC - 8 points Rules Place letters of the specified list into some cells, no more than one letter per cell, so that each letter appears exactly once in each row and column. The letters outside the grid indicate the first letter that can be seen in the respective row or column from the respective direction. Some letters may already be filled in for you. Some cells might be marked with a cross; do not put any letters into those cells. Solve on Penpa 2. ...
