Eric Fox's Puzzles

       Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Regions with numbers must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. There may not exist a run of more than three consecutive shaded or unshaded cells horizontally or vertically anywhere in the grid. Solve online

       Draw a loop through the centers of all cells. Two perpendicular line segments may intersect each other, but not turn at their intersection or otherwise overlap. A clue shows how the loop crosses through the cell it’s in. Solve online

       Place each shape from the bank given outside the grid into the grid so that no two shapes share an edge and all unused cells form one orthogonally connected area. Rotating and reflecting shapes is allowed. Cells with black circles must be used by a shape, and cells with white circles must not be used by a shape. Solve online

       Place a number into each cell so that each region contains the numbers from 1 to N with no repeats, where N is the number of cells in the region. Two instances of the same number in the same row or column must have at least as many cells between them as the value of the number. Solve online

        This is genre I've created called Xerophile, because I imagine the circles being plants that can only grow in the presence of very few adjacent shaded cells (one, to be exact).      Shade some cells to form a non-intersecting loop which does not touch itself orthogonally. Every cell which is orthogonally adjacent to exactly one shaded cell is marked with a circle. Solve online

        Here's a new genre I've created! It's named "Ant Mill" after a phenomenon where an army of ants will lose track of where they were going and end up following each other in a circle, because I like to imagine the shaded dominoes as ants going around in a loop! :)      Shade some dominoes of cells. No two dominoes may touch orthogonally, but each domino must touch exactly two others by the corners such that all dominoes form a single loop. Cells separated by a square must both be shaded or both be unshaded. Cells separated by an X must not. Solve online
