Hi folks,
it is time for another installment of our beginners series. Today’s set is about Magnets, a puzzle type which appears to have been around for ages, probably longer than I have. To be frank, I was never very good at this puzzle style (neither composing nor solving). Thankfully, Ulrich gave me a hand and created this set, so here we are: Magnets
Here is the next installment of our beginners series. You will notice that this is the third post in our Classics Collection within a month; however, the reason for the rush is actually quite simple. Some time ago I decided that the next CC group will be about Yajilin, and it so happens that the UKPA is hosting a Yajilin (and variations) contest this weekend. The puzzle style collision is purely incidental, but I figured it would be prudent to publish our puzzle set before the contest rather than after it. Here is the PDF file: Yajilin
Hi folks,
here is the next set of our puzzle series for beginners. To be fair, Galaxies (sometimes the longer name “Spiral Galaxies” is used) is not the most classic puzzle style I could think of. On the other hand, Dissection Puzzle types are somewhat rare in the community, and those with variable size and shape of the resulting regions are even rarer, so I think for the sake of diversity it is a decent addition. Here is today’s PDF file: Galaxies
Hi folks,
it is time for another installment of our Classics Collection series. Today’s post is about Star Battle, a fairly popular Placement Puzzle style. Actually, this puzzle type is not ideal for our beginner series format, due to the size constraints (see the explanation below the example), but I have decided to use it anyway. Here is the new set: Star Battle
Hi folks,
the Classics Collection continues! As usual, the idea is to present five popular puzzle types and then host another Beginners Contest on the Logic Masters Germany website. For today’s post I picked Hakyuu, also known as Ripple Effect, a puzzle style I used to be quite fond of in the past. In fact, I still like Hakyuu puzzles a lot, it is just that they have become quite rare over the years. Still, I feel it is a worthy addition to this puzzle series. Here is the PDF file: Hakyuu
Hi folks,
the Classics Collection continues! There will probably be another Beginners Contest next, but we already have more puzzle types in mind to go on with our series. Kakuro is certainly a “classic” style; it is not particularly rich in solving techniques, but those who enjoy arithmetic-based logical puzzles will typically get what they pay for.
