Puzzle 16 - Year of the snake (9 months late)
At the start of 2025 I doodled a little snake puzzle for the year of the snake. I never posted it here because imma be real i just forgot but I'm gonna try and start actually posting here regularly. I'm hoping for at least one blog post a week on Saturday or Sunday but I have no idea how long that will last. Anyways here's the puzzle.

Puzzle 15 - Miti (but I didn't like one of the rules so I ignored it.)
djmathman has a blog, and on that blog they showcase new genres sometimes. This week they decided to showcase Miti. After I solved the puzzles I had a unique disdain for a specific aspect of the rules, where all black dots are given. The negative constraint felt fairly limiting, so I decided to make a puzzle without it to see how hard it would be to make a puzzle like that. Turns out, the genre works perfectly fine without it! In fact I even ignored a second rule when constructing the puzzle, the "There may be no vertices where four lines meet." one. Personally I propose that this be the standard version of Miti to come.

Puzzle 14 - A Statue Park One Year in the making
I had the idea for this break in about a year ago, but my initial attempts were rather lackluster, muddled ideas and shortcuts galore. Recently though Rever made a fork of pzprRT¹⁰ and one of the new genres that got supported was statue park! I decided to toy with the idea I had some time ago in it, and accidentally made something very clear and sharp. I'm very pleased with this one and I hope you enjoy it.
¹⁰pzprRT is a penpa autosolver that can run while youre setting the puzzle, which is really cool if you want to make puzzles with inscrutable logic.

Puzzle 13 - SUIT
Was inspired to make a scrabble for whatever reason. I tried to make this unique without having to use the borders, but the SUIT theme was just too restrictive for that unfortunately. At least it works at all lol. Also apologies for the long delay, I will not explain myself. Hopefully I can manage to actually start using this blog again cause I've made a few puzzles in the interim and I want to share them!

Oops! All broken images!
Apparently the file hosting service I use (File Garden) is going through some technical issues so some or all of the images may currently be broken. Thankfully this should only really affect puzzles 3 and 4 as the rest are either only text or have links to external sites. Hopefully things get fixed soon.
