PUZZLE 46: IT'S ABOUT TO GO DOWN (themeless)


Solving Music: Carly Rae Jepsen - Making The Most Of The Night


TALL. PUZZLE. TALL. PUZZLE. TALL. PUZZLE.

I had an idea to make a themeless with super funky dimensions, and it came out about as well as I expected. Somehow the funny long grid made the prospect of doing two quad stacks of 9-letter entries less daunting; they could definitely be improved, but I'm pretty glad this turned out okay at all.

Puzzles here have been coming pretty slowly lately (purely because I'm not making them nearly as often as I used to), so I'm giving a lot more consideration to the idea I had a while back of posting sudoku and other logic puzzles on this blog. It's a different target audience, but I figure there's probably some overlap. If you're at all interested in seeing sudoku on this blog, leave a comment and let me know. I don't think I'll be able to embed anything into a blog post, but I should be able to provide a link to solve on F-Puzzles, and it should increase activity on the blog. Maybe that's good for metrics or something, idk.

Enjoy the puzzle!

PUZZLE 45: sevensevensevensevensevensevensevensevenseven (themeless)


Solving Music: Saint Motel - My Type


Wanted to screw around with grid shapes again and put together this stagger-stack of nine 7s; kinda wanna try more really weird stacks like this in the future. Not a fan of how the NW and SE corners end up very closed off from the rest of the grid, but I'm pretty happy with this all things considered. Hope y'all enjoy.
