A randomly generated Picross puzzle (Hanjie, Griddlers…)

A while ago I created a computer-generated Hanjie puzzle. I didn’t get much response from you folks, but lets try again. The rules are same as for your ordinary Hanjies. The only difference is that randomly generated Hanjie puzzles have a random pattern as the solution, it’s not an image of anything (unless your imagination […]

Jigsaw+Classic Sudoku combination

Today’s puzzle on the Daily Sudoku variants page is somewhat ambiguous. This is why I’m duplicating it here on the main page. Basically, it’s a Classic and Jigsaw Sudoku combination.
