Eric Fox's Puzzles

       Divide the grid into square regions of orthogonally connected cells. A number indicates the side length of the square it’s in. Region borders may not form any four-way intersections. Solve online

       Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Each circle must touch exactly one shaded cell. Three consecutive shaded cells within the same row or column may not be evenly spaced. Solve online

       Divide the grid into rectangular regions of orthogonally connected cells. Each letter represents a different constant positive integer. Each region must contain exactly one clue, the value of which represents the number of cells in the region. Solve online

       Shade some cells to form a non-intersecting path which does not touch itself orthogonally. A black circle marks an end of the path. Each orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells must be exactly four cells in size. Clues cannot be shaded, and contain the letter associated with the tetromino shape of their unshaded area. Solve online

     Shade some cells to form a non-intersecting path which does not touch itself orthogonally. Circles mark the ends of the path. Each orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells must be exactly four cells in size. Clues cannot be shaded, and contain the letter associated with the tetromino shape of their unshaded area. Solve online

       Shade some cells to form a non-intersecting path which does not touch itself orthogonally. Circles mark the ends of the path. Exactly one orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells must exist of each size from the range given outside the grid. Cells with numbers cannot be shaded, and represent the size of the area they’re in. Solve online

       Place letters from the range given outside the grid into some cells so that each row and column contains each letter once. There may not exist a path between two instances of the same letter which doesn’t pass through a different letter or a bold border. Solve online

       Shade a single group of orthogonally connected cells in each region. Shaded groups may not share a bold border. Regions with numbers must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. If all of the shaded groups were to fall straight down without changing shape, they must completely fill the bottom half of the grid. Solve online

       Draw lines between the centers of cells so that each connected figure goes through exactly one clue, and all cells are used by a figure. Clues show how their figures turn and connect with themselves, not allowing rotation or reflection, but do not indicate the lengths of the line segments. Solve online

       Divide the grid into square regions of orthogonally connected cells. A number indicates the side length of the square it’s in. Region borders may not form any four-way intersections. Solve online

      Shade two groups of orthogonally connected cells in each region. Both of a regions groups must have the same size and shape, but may be rotated or reflected. Shaded groups may not be orthogonally adjacent, but must all form a single diagonally connected network. Clued cells may not be shaded, and indicate the size of a group of shaded cells which occupies the adjacent cell in the indicated direction. Solve online  

       Shade two groups of orthogonally connected cells in each region. Both of a regions groups must have the same size and shape, but may be rotated or reflected. Shaded groups may not be orthogonally adjacent, but must all form a single diagonally connected network. Clued cells may not be shaded, and indicate the size of a group of shaded cells which occupies the adjacent cell in the indicated direction. Solve online

       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

      This puzzle about avoiding groups of three equally spaced things has a theme of groups of three equally spaced things :)      Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Each circle must touch exactly one shaded cell. Three consecutive shaded cells within the same row or column may not be evenly spaced. Solve online

       Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells that passes through every circle. The loop must turn on black circles and travel straight through the cells on either side. The loop must go straight through white circles, and turn in at least one of the cells on either side. Solve online

       Divide the grid into regions of three orthogonally connected cells. Two regions which are the same shape and orientation may not share an edge. Solve online

       Shade a single group of orthogonally connected cells in each region. Shaded groups may not share a bold border. Regions with numbers must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. If all of the shaded groups were to fall straight down without changing shape, they must completely fill the bottom half of the grid. Solve online

      After a long hiatus from posting on this blog, I return with a rather egotistical construction:      Draw lines between the centers of cells so that each connected figure goes through exactly one clue, and all cells are used by a figure. Clues show how their figures turn and connect with themselves, not allowing rotation or reflection, but do not indicate the lengths of the line segments. Solve online
