Speaking of puzz.link, the database has stopped picking up puzzles from Twitter. I don't know what the plan for that is, but if the Twitter scraper does not come back, it's possible I'll only post these puzzles on Mastodon in the future.

Divide a 10x10 grid into 2x2 regions. Add clues to the following regions. Top row from the left: 1, 2, 3, 3. Middle row from the right: 1, 1, 2. Bottom row from the left: 3, 1, 1, 1. All other regions remain unclued. Solve as a Remembered Length puzzle.

Choco Banana on a 10x10 grid. Starting from the second cell of the top row, write the following clues as a snake which does not touch itself, not even diagonally, such that it results in a valid puzzle: 2-3-2-3-1-3-3-3-4-4-4-3-1-7-?-?-?-?-7-?-?-1-?-7-?-4-?-?-2-4-4-1-?-?-5-1-5-1.

I made a couple of puzzles for a construction contest, where the task was to make puzzles which can be described in a single tweet (assuming known genre conventions). I'll post them in the replies. The Choco Banana won the contest. 🎉

Heyakichiwake puzz.link/p?akichi/v:/10… Variant: clues are both Heyawake and Akichiwake clues, i.e. they indicate both the number of shaded cells and the largest contiguous unshaded area in a region. I suspect this might work better on a larger grid or with non-rectangular regions

@creedoww Oof, still wasn't unique. Didn't consider that the 0 (mod 3) case can also be satisfied with three cells on the edge and none in the corners.

Shoutout to @davemakes's Mixolumia, which loosely inspired these rules when I started to think about what a logic puzzle genre on a rotated square grid might look like.

Introducing Gravel, a genre I designed a year ago today. Pedro was so kind to implement it in his Kudamono Editor: pedros.works/paper-puzzle-p… You can find more puzzles on the genre's Kudamono page and on my blog starting here: brokensign.com/puzzle/2023/05…
