I will eventually have a longer write-up with some stats from 2014 and other updates here (probably next weekend). Until then, I hope you enjoyed our look back at our Best Puzzles of 2014 and are excited for the start of new puzzles again tomorrow. This coming week will have a variety mix, including several with a familiar theme for this time of year:

Monday: Sudoku by Prasanna Seshadri
Tuesday: Cave (Product) by Grant Fikes
Wednesday: Slitherlink by Grant Fikes
Thursdays: Skyscrapers (Sum) by Thomas Snyder
Friday: Pentopia by Grant Fikes
Saturday: Battleships by Thomas Snyder

The bonus puzzle for our high-level supporters will also be a Pentominous by Grant Fikes.

All the variety puzzles from last week can be found in this PDF.

This next week will feature a set of Pentomino puzzles, specifically Pentominous and Pentopia puzzles.

The bonus puzzle for our high-level supporters will also be a Yajilin by Grant Fikes.

All the puzzles from last week’s Letters and Numbers (Pentominous/Sudoku) collection can be found in this PDF.

This next week will feature a variety of styles from guest contributors. Specifically:
Monday: Nanro by Carl Worth
Tuesday: Round Trip by Hans van Stippent
Wednesday: Masyu by Murat Can Tonta
Thursday: Tapa by John Bulten
Friday: Cave by Murat Can Tonta
Saturday: Fractional Skyscrapers by Robert Vollmert

The bonus puzzle for our high-level supporters will also be a Pentominous by Grant Fikes.

All the puzzles from last week’s Castle Wall collection can be found in this PDF.

We had 57 solvers for Dr. Sudoku’s 200th puzzle contest. Two random numbers were selected from 1-57 using random.org marking solvers 30 and 52 as the winners of a free puzzle book. Those lucky solvers are (30.) Projectyl and (52.) phlebowitsh.

For anyone who was stumped by the lack of rules for the TomTomTom, and didn’t catch on to the hint provided by the title, here are complete rules. The six 6×6 grids make up a Latin Cube where no digit repeats in any row or column within a grid, or within any cell in the same position across the grids (i.e., stack the grids on top of each other and no digit repeats within a position in that stack). While none of the starting grids have a unique solution without the Latin Cube constraint, with this constraint all five regular looking TomToms can now be uniquely solved. Use the remaining digits in each location to fill in the last grid. Assign number values to those cases keeping in mind operations when present and convert 1=A, 2=B, …, to read out the solution in left-to-right, top-to-bottom order.”

This next week will feature both letters and numbers. Specifically, a set of Pentominous puzzles by Grant Fikes and Sudoku puzzles by Thomas Snyder. The bonus puzzle for our high-level supporters will also be a Pentominous by Grant Fikes.

All the puzzles from our TomTom week can be found in this PDF. For those who want a chance to win one of our books, check out the contest tied to my 200th puzzle here. Answers submitted before November 9th will be eligible for one of two prizes.

This next week will be a variety mix from five of our puzzlemasters. Highlight below to see the schedule:
Monday: Masyu by Tom Collyer
Tuesday: Battleships by Thomas Snyder
Wednesday: Nanro by Grant Fikes
Thursday: Cross the Streams by Prasanna Seshadri
Friday: Thermo-Sudoku by Thomas Snyder
Saturday: Fillomino (Cipher) by Palmer Mebane

The bonus puzzle for our high-level supporters will be a Pentominous by Grant Fikes.

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

Grant’s New Year’s Resolution was to submit 365 puzzles this year and he is still pretty much on pace. This is a huge quantity of puzzles to test, so his submissions pile up most weeks. When I do get to them, I often wonder how I am ever going to use most of these puzzles.

This week is a collection just from Grant’s early August submissions (spanning a roughly 10 day period). Unusual sizes and themes, but 100% Foxger. I hope you enjoy them.

Monday: Slitherlink
Tuesday: Masyu
Wednesday: Battleships
Thursday: Pentominous
Friday: Cross the Streams
Saturday: Fillomino

The bonus puzzle for our high-level supporters will be a Fillomino by Grant Fikes.

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

We have now launched our e-book store. This is a secured, PayPal-based ordering system and right now contains the first 4 (of 5) parts of “The Art of Puzzles”. You can get an individual part of The Art of Puzzles for $4, or the entire collection for $16. If you start by buying individual parts, the cost to complete the collection will continue to decrease (-> $12 -> $8 -> $4) so you can choose to try a few before you buy them all. If you have a solving account for the website already, that should work as your log-in to get to the secure store page. Once you purchase an e-book you will be able to download it anytime in the future by logging in to this account. As this is a new feature for us, if you run into any problems please email us using the link at the bottom of the page. We’ll be announcing more titles and a release schedule soon.

Puzzle-wise, this week highlights two things: an author and a championship. We’ll be posting six puzzles from Bram de Laat, a talented puzzle solver and author from the Netherlands. His puzzles are “extras” from the Indian Puzzle Championship as Bram made two puzzles of each type to allow the organizers some choice. The “extras” are actually some of the better puzzles, but also harder which probably motivated the competition choice. So be prepared for a harder week than usual. We will also have some bonus posts which highlight other Indian Puzzle Championship puzzles from GMPuzzle authors.

The exact schedule is this (highlight to view):
Monday (AM): Battleships by Bram de Laat
Monday (PM): Star Battle variation by Prasanna Seshadri
Tuesday (AM): Slitherlink by Bram de Laat
Tuesday (PM): Cross the Streams by Grant Fikes
Wednesday (AM): Slitherlink (Toroidal) by Bram de Laat
Wednesday (PM): Pentominous by Prasanna Seshadri
Thursday (AM): Araf by Bram de Laat
Thursday (PM): Word Nurikabe by Thomas Snyder
Friday (AM): Araf (Different Neighbors) by Bram de Laat
Friday (PM): TomTom by Grant Fikes
Saturday (AM): Battleships (Observers) by Bram de Laat
Saturday (PM): TomTom (Cipher) by Thomas Snyder

The bonus puzzle for our high-level supporters will be a Star Battle by Thomas Snyder.

All the puzzles from last week’s Sudoku focus have been grouped in this PDF. Many of the puzzles from last week have gotten rave reviews. So even if you normally don’t like sudoku you may want to go back and try the puzzles you missed.

Next week will be another variety week with these puzzles (highlight to view):
Monday: Cave by Thomas Snyder
Tuesday: Slitherlink by Grant Fikes
Wednesday: Pentominous by Grant Fikes
Thursday: Sum Skyscrapers by Thomas Snyder
Friday: Outside Nurikabe by guest constructor Tapio Saarinen
Saturday: Nanro by Serkan Yürekli

The bonus puzzle for our high-level supporters will be a Fillomino by Grant Fikes.
