hutt's puzzle dump

made on 7/13/24 This puzzle type can be found in Fraser Simpson's cryptic crossword books. So far, I've only seen the four puzzles in the first two volumes, but I think the idea has potential for outside-the-box deductions. These puzzles explore unconventional construction ideas and are intended to get progressively more difficult. Find five seven-letter words such that each is made from the six letters in each portion plus the last letter of the word from the previous portion, with the last letter of the fifth being used for the first. For example, the fifth portion of puzzle 1 will be ANAGRAM, meaning word 4 ends in N and word 1 is an anagram of AEEQRUM. 1. AEEQRU / CDINRS / EILRZZ / CDINRS / AAAGMR 2. CCIPRT / AFHISU / EOQRTU / AEIMNS / IINQUY 3. ABILMO / AEFFIR / ADENPS / CELMOP / ABDNOS 

 made on 7/12/24 I recently constructed a special Chained Block for what will eventually be a full set of special shading puzzles, though I don't want to spoil what the gimmick is yet. While watching a movie, I randomly started thinking about max logic in a Chained Block, which led to the second in this set. I'm not sure if there are any larger grids that can be satisfied by two large number clues. The first just happened to be a variant of the second with more traditional logic, though the grid size does feel accommodating for its logic. https://puzz.link/p?chainedb/4/4/j3j3l https://puzz.link/p?chainedb/4/4/j6j6l
