Update: June 2025

 I've received feedback for the puzzles before the final section in my most recent project, but I've yet to discover if anyone's found the special secret. I'll be pushing the formal release update sometime tomorrow. I've also made a bit more progress on the writing project, which is now about three-quarters complete. I'll definitely be making a page for it here when I finish, but I don't know when that will be.

I've also been taking some time recently to comb through all my puzzles here again to look for more nonuniquenesses and provide Kudamono links for some of the variant puzzles that had been set with puzz.link. I'm not sure whether I also should be submitting older puzzles to Kudamono; if I do, I should at least not do it all at once. At least it's been long enough that I should be able to spot nonuniquenesses beforehand.


The following puzzles were created on the eleventh. I like Menderbug's name recommendation of Strata, since the lines could be interpreted as horizons and cracks. The original inspiration for this puzzle was a pattern on a couch cushion.


The grid may first be divided with horizontal lines that connect the left and right edges, then the resulting rectangles may be divided with 45-degree diagonal lines that connect two of a rectangle's edges. Lines cannot turn and must be gridpoint-aligned. There cannot be any 4-or-more-way intersections, including along the grid's edges. Clues cannot be crossed over by lines. Numbers reveal the area of the region they reside in.
