Overlapping CalcuDoku (Square Wisdom, MathDoku) puzzle
It’s been quite a while since I last posted a CalcuDoku puzzle. I’m going to fix that now and to make it up to you, it will be a somewhat special variant of Square Wisdom puzzles. It’s an overlapping, 2 in 1 (Gattai-2), CalcuDoku puzzle, which is essentially in a TwoDoku layout. Remember the rules: […]

A new Hidoku puzzle
Since I stopped with the Daily Hidoku puzzles, I never really posted one puzzle of this species for you. Sorry about that, here it is now! By the way, the two Hidoku books I published should be solved in reverse order. 🙂 Why? Because the puzzles in Volume 1 are slightly more difficult than the […]
Slitherlink
Here is my second Slitherlink puzzle. My solver thinks it’s rather difficult. What do you think? You can read The rules of Slitherlink (Takegaki, loop-the-loop, loopies…). Slitherlink 11×11 for Monday, March 4, 2010. Difficulty: INSANE? Click on the puzzle thumbnail to access the puzzle. Enjoy and do comment, please! 🙂

Introducing Slitherlink (loop the loop, takegaki, fences, dotty dilemma… you name it)
Another kind of puzzles that I’ve started creating recently… Slitherlink! These puzzles are also known under many different names. Slitherlink puzzles are not a Sudoku variant. They can be of any size and the rules are: 1. Connect the dots to form a single loop with no points of intersection. 2. The clues given tell […]

Killer Sudoku with all operators in TwoDoku format
I don’t think I’ve ever posted a puzzle like this one. Yes it is essentially a Killer puzzle. Yes, it’s also an overlapping sudoku puzzle, Gattai-2 (TwoDoku). But it also has some similarity with Calcudoku puzzles, because you must use all four operators (+, -, *, /). Killer TwoDoku with all ops for Tuesday, February […]

Nurikabe
As you may have noticed, I’ve changed things a little on the site, by removing some of the daily puzzles. While Daily Killer Sudoku and Daily Sudoku variation will remain, as well as bi-Weekly Samurai Sudoku, all other puzzles will be posted here, on the main page of the site. Expect at least a couple […]

My first Nurikabe puzzle (a difficult one)
Another addition to my portfolio of various number/logic puzzles are Nurikabe puzzles. I think these puzzles are being undeservedly somewhat neglected in the puzzle world and I intend to change that. The number of solving techniques and approaches that can be found in Nurikabe puzzles far exceeds any other puzzle type. For me it was […]

How to solve Hitori: basic techniques
Solving Hitori puzzles is about recognizing patterns. I will show you some examples of those patterns. They can be split into two groups, one of those that depend solely on the initial positioning of numbers, and another group of patterns that depend on the black and white cells which have been painted in the solving […]

CalcuDoku clarification
In order to avoid any further confusion with KenKen(R) and KenDoku(TM) trademarks of Nextoy, LLC, I have changed the name of these puzzles to CalcuDoku. This name is also used by other publishers but it is not trademarked.
Hitori
UPDATE: After some debate with udosuk (see comments), I’ve decided to adopt the rule that every cell must be either black or white, it can’t be left “undecided”. I’ve changed the original puzzle accordingly so you can download it now. At the end of last year, I announced that I will be introducing more types […]
