Puzzle 18 - Yajilin

     I don't know why but for some reason in July I was procrastinating, and in that procrastination I doodled this yajilin. The break-in is pretty tricky, but after that it's fairly smooth.

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.
