PUZZLE 28: DOUBLE DIGITS (themeless)

Solving Music: Mafumafu - Jigsaw Puzzle

(Warning: The music video for this song has some flashing images; if your eyes are sensitive to that kind of thing, this video of the song doesn't have any of that.)



As you can see up top, I'm trying out the PuzzleMe applet for these posts now! Hopefully this is way more convenient for folks who'd like to solve these puzzles in-browser. Let me know if you have any issues with the solver.

Sorry for the weird hiatus, btw; I've been busy with some other puzzle stuff, including a few collabs that should be showing up here and on others' blogs in the near future. There should be more puzzles here in general in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for them.

I wrote this puzzle exclusively so I could use 1-Across; I've been playing a ton of Project DIVA lately, and 1-Across is a neat technique that I thought would work well in a puzzle. If you're interested in Hatsune Miku and other Vocaloid music, I highly recommend Project DIVA; it's really addicting, and the newest game, Project DIVA Mega Mix, is available on Nintendo Switch.
Also! Lollapuzzoola is tomorrow; if you're gonna be participating in that, make sure to join the Crosscord server on Discord; we'll have a channel set up for Lolla talk, and we'll be playing some Jackbox games after the tournament (anyone's welcome to join in for Jackbox, even if you aren't participating in the tournament)! Hope to see you there!

  1. Hi Ricky,
    I'm trying to solve the puzzle in-browser, as I do in many other sites. But . . . the clues do not show up, even after trying to resize. Another site (sorry, can't remember which) had the same problem, and it was solved by "widening" the display space. Hope you can do the same.

  2. Ricky,
    Same commenter: after submitting the comment, now the clues are appearing below the grid, which necessitates a lot of scrolling for each clue. All other PuzzleMe sites have the clues appearing on the RHS of the grid. Hope you can make this happen . . . :-)

    1. Heyo, things should be good now! Header image is now off-center, but that'll be an issue for another time. Hope the applet's more usable now!
