EoHeongMat - 2023-04-21 12:02 AMPuzzle 12Must all words be connected?
Yes, of course.
Well, that's not what the PB says. "Each name should intersect with at least one other" is not the same thing, and would be redundant if all words were connected.Another 12 hours of time wasted on solving one of these with the wrong set of instructions, and this time I don't think it was entirely my fault...(Sorry for being negative. But it is extremely frustrating.)

PB says make a crossword. One, not several crosswords. If the words are not related to each other, then you will get several crosswords.

Puzzle 11
"Create a Minesweeper puzzle with a unique solution in the 9x9grid"
Do we agree that the instructions to solve a Minesweeper include a given number of mines to find ? As in Puzzle 6 for exemple
A grid could have multiple solutions without that number of mines, but when it is given as an instruction, the solution can become unique
The grid I submitted needs that number to have a unique solution

Create a classic Minesweeper puzzle in which the number of mines is not given.

Hi Stefano,
This is unacceptable. There must be at least one empty cell between two words.

When is the contest ending exactly? because if that is anytime later than Midnight IST in the night from the 23th to 24th of april (in 3h20), i won't be able to submit answers after that

If that is the case, do i send an email to logicmasteradmin@gmail.com as if the website was down?

The most obvious reason would be that everyone who started this contest before the end time was extended has had a countdown clock that expired a few hours ago and for us the LMI platform says the contest is over. (When the end of the contest was extended, the submission deadlines for those who had already started the contest did not get extended).
(As for myself I don't care because I finished everything I wanted to do, assuming no further surprises about previously unexplained rules that change the nature of any puzzles).-- Denis

Oof I genuinely missed that the countdown clock and the end time setting are differently coded for this contest. We will try to reset it but yes we will accept submissions via email for now. Thanks for pointing this out.
