Got the keys to our new home today. Still a lot of work to do, but nice to have a place (and a garden) of our own & look forward to making it into somewhere cosy for the many years ahead.

Had our offer accepted on the bungalow we wanted. Exciting times ahead and will be nice to have a place and the space to call home.

Upcoming WPF Grand Prix round looks very promising with lots of great puzzles included:
🍃 Four Winds
🧱 Pentominous
💋 Kissing Polyominoes
🍌 Chocolate Banana
✨ Star Battle
🏙️ Skyscrapers
⚫️ Masyu
🔲 Tapa
🧵 Koburin
(… also ➕Kakuro but that’s not my jam personally)

Fun surface reading on todays clue & the wordplay isn’t too tricky either :)

I made a new puzzle. This one is a Contiguous Nonogram (aka Cross the Streams) with an extra Sudoku constraint on top. The constraints made for both a nice setting & solving flow, will definitely play with these some more. You can solve it online at tinyurl.com/2ykjd223

First round of the Word Puzzle GP is over. Some really fun polyomino puzzles this time that are well worth a look.

Unfortunately feeling very out of practice (not helped with the death of my go to logic puzzle site) & made a few silly mistakes I should have spotted. Oh well.

It's been a while since I crafted a logic puzzle so with seeing a a random prompt from #Enigmarch @enigmarchhq.bsky.social I took the opportunity to revive a format I'd been tinkering with (a blend of Double Choco & Nonograms), in an extra short grid.

As has become tradition, we’ve made our own Advent Calendars this year from a selection box. Always scrummy & Jen did a great job on the window designs.

Just a customary ahoy to those who find themselves here for some reason. Hope you have a splendid day.
