I really did have a different puzzle set to go for today, but the general dislike for implied puzzle answers that I have heard expressed made me double think it. Besides, the puzzle wasn't all that clear and it wasn't all that symmetric. I figured…
On my honor, I promise this one is easier than last week!! It is an implied answer (and I know those are not favorites) but there should be enough road signs to point you towards where you have to go. My test solvers, whimsy and cinny, got it pretty…
I'm stating up front, this one is REALLY hard. I didn't intend for it to be this difficult, and I thought it was going to be an "Oh, there it is!" But after multiple rewrites, nudge clue additions, signposts, etc. it still is baffling really good…
I am going to apologize in advance for this puzzle. The last two have been in the lower end of the MEOW scale, but this is definitely a PUMA or worse. It is not that the mechanism is so intricate, just that it is very subtle and really unlike most of…
The Cap'n asked for a Sunday puzzle and I accommodated. He took one look at it and said, I like it but...apparently it was WAY too Tomish for a Sunday. So he worked his Captain magic with layout and fill and you have before you the MUCH improved…
Yet another Connections inspired puzzle! This should be fairly quick to see, but who knows. Whatever the case, follow the title and do not let it bug you.
I want to thank snood who helped me test this puzzle and made some great suggestions.
Well here's hoping this meta draws a crowd and at the end you don't arbor any ill will. I suppose if my write is worse than my bark I'll find myself rooted in trouble.
OK, before I have any more pun-gent words, let me thank my testers; Al Sisti…
Well it is MEOW day again and hopefully this one will be easier than last week. This one came to me after watching a "Wheel of Fortune" episode. I knew the answer almost immediately but then you all know my predilection for word play. I think when…
Like many puzzles I do, this came to me while tooling around looking at different word facts. “Hmmm”, said I, “wonder if I could do that in a puzzle?” As it turns out the answer is yes. Our language is intriguing and we have many things we see all…
I’m back after being derailed by the band(s). This puzzle is a lot easier than it looks but because of that (since those that are easier than they look are often S.A.D. puzzles) I am going to give this a slightly higher difficulty rating than I think…
