Puzzle #53 – Pentomino Minesweeper

I liked how this one turned out. Should be fairly easy to start, but hard to finish. Funny that it has 1 more clue than the previous 2 puzzles, despite looking more sparse.

Rules:
The set of pantominoes used in this puzzle is the full set of 12. (FILNPTUVWXYZ)

Puzzle #51 – Masyu (All White)

Another relative easy puzzle. I probably won’t be making any large or hard puzzles for a little while. Just easy to moderate ones until things settle down a bit.

Standard Masyu Rules. Additionally, all possible white circles are placed in the puzzle. ie. If the path goes through a square without a white circle, then it must either turn on that square, or go straight in both of the squares adjacent to it.

Solution

Puzzle #51 – Masyu

Another easy one this week. It uses the same design as Puzzle #29, but smaller and a whole lot easier.
