hutt's puzzle dump

 Some of the puzzle blogs this blog was inspired by have a habit of numbering the puzzles. While it does convey a sense of how much I've made, I've found myself not really caring about the numbers, and I get the feeling solvers won't really care either. I don't plan to make a 500-puzzle special or anything like that because I may have already hit that benchmark. Numbering is ambiguous when initials are included, when some pages have multiple puzzles (I can think of at least one with hidden puzzles) and when considering the puzzles I made before joining the internet. I also have plans (though they may fall through) to do some slight reorganizing of the blog to make it more intuitive to explore and slightly more novel by design. Cutting numbers seems like an easy way to streamline.  It seems unfitting to make a blog post without a puzzle, so I've prepared a Balance Loop on this theme. You may want to warm up with this one: https://puzz.link/p?balance/4/4/01r01 The fol

 I enjoyed the new variants in the demo and am excited to see what the full version has in store. [2G]5x5-8

Each 5x5 subregion follows the rules of a different "Divide Into Areas" genre on https://puzz.link/list.html : they have been sorted alphabetically and placed in reading order. Regions, numbers, and shapes follow a genre rule if they are the subject of a rule in a subregion they're in: for example, numbers outside Aho in regions that enter Aho do not need to be area but numbers outside Araf in regions that enter Araf do matter for the region's area bounds. You may draw on the edges of Slash Pack and Tonttiraja. There are further slight nuances to the puzzle that may be found over the course of solving. As of posting, it's unsolved, and I don't know whether it's unique, or accidentally nonunique or impossible.

 Despite its small size, I tried to include some interesting logic. https://puzz.link/p?heteromino/5/6/b7g7c77f7d7b

 This puzzle type was invented by thejonymyster: - Fill all empty cells with lines of length 4 (i.e. occupying 4 cells) or shaded cells (which may not be orthogonally adjacent) - Endpoints of lines may not be orthogonally adjacent to those of other lines

 made on 1/30/24 The sum of digits along the arrow equals the circled digit. The number in the shaded circle is odd. This puzzle combines odd clues with thermometers, which are lines that start on a circular bulb and contain numbers that strictly increase moving away from the bulb. However, it's unclear which circles are odd and which are bulbs.
