In Puzzle 6, I'm a bit confused by the "vice versa" in the instructions for Turns. Is it saying that if the loop doesn't turn and enters a cell without a circle, then it must turn in the next cell (so you can't have more than one straight in a row)?
In this part of the grid, the line behaves like in the puzzle "Every second turn". If there was a turn in a circle, then the next turn will be in a cell without a circle, then again in a circle, etc. |

"It is also possible for the line to make a turn and leave the grid, in this case it can turn in the next grid before meeting a circle."
Is there a vice versa too ? When the last turn before leaving the grid is a circle ?
Isn't it more accurate to say :
"It is also possible for the line to make a turn and leave the grid, in this case :
- if the last turn in the grid isn't a circle, it can turn in the next grid before meeting a circle.
- if the last turn in the grid is a circle, it can turn in the next grid at a circle"

Yes, this is what is intended to be conveyed. |

Riad Khanmagomedov - 2023-04-20 11:35 PM 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. |

"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

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