Puzzle 564: Pearls of Wisdom 52

Fans of the classic game Chip's Challenge, rejoice! The author of that game, Chuck Sommerville, is creating a PC port of the game's spiritual sequel Chuck's Challenge! Do you have a Steam account? Please join me in giving Chuck's Challenge 3D a thumbs-up vote to increase the game's chances of being made available on Steam! I supported the game on Kickstarter, and I would like it to achieve success! :)

Puzzle 563: Straight and Arrow 38

Monday, August 27, 2012

In this The Inner Limits puzzle, a number indicates the product of two quantities: the number of cells in an uninterrupted horizontal line from that cell (up to the nearest edges of the loop, and including the cell itself), and the number of cells in an uninterrupted vertical line from that cell (up to the nearest edges of the loop, and including the cell itself). The rules are otherwise unchanged.
Thomas Snyder posted a beautiful puzzle in preparation for the recent United States Puzzle Competition. It is my hope that I have made a puzzle at least as excellent as his.

Monday Mutant 116: Seek and Spell / Crowd Nine

In this Seek and Spell puzzle, every row, every column, and every outlined box consisting of nine cells each must contain every letter in FLINCH MAG exactly once (as in a Crowd Nine puzzle, but with letters). The rules are otherwise unchanged.
This puzzle honors Minfang Lin from China, the winner of my recent BoardGameGeek contest giving away cards from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game, plus a custom puzzle for the winner. Even though Minfang Lin chose not to accept the cards, the other half of the prize remains.

Shade in tetrominoes in simultaneous accordance with the rules of Streaming Content and the rules of Tetra Firma. (As the grid isn't partitioned into regions, the rule of Tetra Firma that every region contains one tetromino is waived.)
