Schedule for Next Week

All the puzzles from last week have been grouped in this PDF.

Next week (including the bonus puzzle for our supporters) will feature just one puzzle style, made by the person we consider the world’s best author of that style: Skyscrapers by Roland Voigt

We will also have a few bonus puzzles throughout the week (and in the coming weeks), which are our favorite recent competition puzzles from Serkan Yürekli. These aren’t really organized by difficulty level, but are also definitely worth checking out.

Schedule for Next Week

All the puzzles from last week have been grouped in this PDF. While we don’t like breaking the rules too often, we hope you enjoyed last week’s “Oddities”. Even the bonus puzzle, the “Nothing Odd Going On Here” Slitherlink, was quite twisted in its execution.

Next week will focus on one of our favorite puzzle types: Fillomino and variations. Puzzles will be by Grant Fikes, Prasanna Seshadri, and Serkan Yürekli. The bonus puzzle will also be from that category, and if our high-level supporters haven’t had their Fillia of puzzles yet, there will be an extra large and rather incredible puzzle sent out by Grant Fikes as well.

And we now have a bonus video “talk-through” of the Friday Fillomino puzzle posted on our Patreon page here.

Next week we’ll be debuting a new puzzle style for all six days. What will it be? There might be a few more “easy” puzzles than usual, but with a new type it made sense to start out slow. The bonus puzzle for our high-level supporters will be a Consecutive Sudoku by Thomas Snyder.

Now that we’ve had a few weeks of a “variety one-week, focus on one style the next week” pattern, what do you think of our updated format?
