hutt's puzzle dump

 I've been getting stuff done this month, but it's the sorts of things that are part of something larger that I may want to wait for. For example, the writing project is over 85% complete. I also recently hit the first milestone for a large puzzle project I started early this month. I'll make a post for it soon after triple-checking for uniqueness. Speaking of milestones, three days ago, the blog hit a combined 10k post views! Thank you all for checking out my puzzles! It feels nice to be neither obscure nor well-known in this field. For this post, I've decided to include puzzles I've shared to two other sites but for some reason or another have not shared here yet. These Narrowfence puzzles were made on the last day of May. They also appear with credit in part five of the creator's paper puzzle collections . The links use different shapes from the original puzzles due to constraints of the editor. I found the logical techniques of this genre to be fresh yet int...

 Made to celebrate a rare occasion Rules: Slice the grid using straight lines that connect pairs of grid points on the grid's edge such that every region contains exactly one circle. Slices cannot pass through circles or be colinear with a grid edge. Also, every slice must be exactly as long as the grid is wide. 7x5 5x4 25x7

 This genre was invented by thejonymyster. The first four puzzles in this post were made on the nineteenth; the last one was made today. Rules: Shade some cells in the grid. Shaded cells cannot be orthogonally adjacent. All unshaded cells must form one orthogonally connected region. No 2x2 section may be left entirely unshaded. All shaded cells must form one connected network via knight moves.

 On 7/13/25, beekie invented a crossword-inspired Pentominous variant where certain rows and columns must contain intact words hinted at by clues. I managed to finish constructing a somewhat thematic puzzle the following day. https://puzz.link/p?pentominous/v:/10/10/zzzzz 3 Across: In a restless manner, or what the pieces have to do in this 10-by-10 Pentominous grid? (8) 9 Across: The most visible part of an iceberg (3) 2 Down: Completely satiated (4) 4 Down: Opposite to the direction this entry reads (2)

 On the post for the Dungeon Map puzzles, I mentioned that I thought the checkered tiles would be an interesting variant for other puzzles. The latest PuzsqWave theme inspired me to try it out on a few genres. The first three were also transcribed in the Kudamono editor on 7/20/25, although the Yajilin uses a different interpretation; admittedly, the way the variant was implemented in the editor makes more sense than my interpretation.
