hutt's puzzle dump

 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.
