In July 2022, I asked Puzzlers Club whether there would be any interest in writing a big mashup puzzle in an exquisite corpse style. There was. This is that puzzle. Wait, why is it December 2025?
Diamond Chain is a new genre I came up with about half a year ago as an instructionless puzzle for the GAPP series. It is now available on pzprxs.
“Region” is a bouba word and “division” is a kiki word, right?
I got back from WPC and 24HPC last night, so it’s time to share all the practice puzzles I wrote for the German teams. And then probably take another nap.
Wessel and I made another puzzle together by taking turns adding clues to the grid.
I made some puzzles for the Polish Puzzle Championship again, which took place last weekend. This year I contributed one complete round, and a couple of extra puzzles for a mixed round that I will share on Puzzle Square.
While looking through my unpublished puzzles, I found a prototype for another Walk ruleset. I still liked the concept when revisiting the puzzle, so I made a few more.
This puzzle was submitted to Logic Showcase 68: It’s Not Hip To Be Square. The prompt was to make puzzles that are sort of Latin Squares, but not quite, e.g. partial Latin Squares, non-square grids, non-digit/letter banks, etc.
More catching up: this puzzle won a 24-hour puzzle construction contest on the CtC Discord server back in November. The prompt was to make a puzzle on a triangle-shaped grid (not necessarily using triangular cells).
This is the other puzzle that won Logic Showcase 67. For this one I wanted to take the “logic showcase” idea a bit more literally and make a big puzzle to show a wide variety of deductions, without going too crazy on interpreting the prompt.
