Our next planned e-book will be Star Battle by JinHoo Ahn. We’re putting the finishing touches on it now, and should be posting it this week. So if you enjoyed the most recent week of Star Battle puzzles, please check out this title when it launches.
Last week’s mix of Star Battle puzzles and variations can be found in this PDF and the solutions are all grouped in this PDF and have also been linked to the individual posts.
Later today we’ll be sharing a (very hard) sample puzzle from a Killer Sudoku puzzle pack from Serkan Yürekli, which was just added to our e-store. We are experimenting with different sizes for our puzzle titles; while this is a smaller puzzle pack than others, at just 27 puzzles, it is still full of a lot of brain-bending challenge at a $2 price. If you enjoyed the mental arithmetic in this recent Kakuro week, you will certainly enjoy the math and logic needed to get through these Killer Sudoku.

A few months ago we had a full week of Kurotto puzzles and promised that an e-book would be available later this year with more of this great shading puzzle style. Today we’ve released that e-book, Kurotto by Prasanna Seshadri, and it is one of my favorite books that we’ve published because it takes this puzzle style much further than others have, including with a few new variations from Prasanna.

First, we’re excited to have some new titles coming to our e-store — the first since our blog relaunch earlier in the year. I’m doing the last touches on two e-books now and will be adding Yajilin Battleships by Serkan Yürekli and Plenty O’ Pentominous 3 by Grant Fikes and Murat Can Tonta to our web store over the next two weekends. Watch for additional posts here when these fun collections are available for purchase.
Second, we have not found any quick fixes to the issues with logging into the solving/fave applet. This seems to be due to updated browser security checks when connecting to external sites. The fix likely requires moving the applet and database to be hosted on our servers and we are working with the external developer to see if this is possible, or if we should find an alternative self-hosted tool.
