Eric Fox's Puzzles

       Shade some cells so that circled clues represent the total size of the orthogonally connected areas of shaded cells that share an edge with the clue and uncircled clues represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells in the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue. Clued cells cannot be shaded. Solve online

     Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells in the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded. Solve online

    Here are the puzzles from a pack of nine small Fillominos I created. Enjoy!      Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells. Two regions of the same size may not share an edge. Clued cells must belong to a region containing the indicated number of cells. Solve online Solve online Solve online Solve online Solve online Solve online Solve online Solve online Solve online

    Here's a pack of five domino-shading puzzles that I made over the past few days. I hope you enjoy!     Norinori:      Shade some dominoes of cells so that every region contains exactly two shaded cells. Shaded dominoes may not touch orthogonally. Solve online     Norikabe:      Shade some dominoes of cells, dividing the grid into regions. Shaded dominoes may not touch orthogonally. Clues cannot be shaded, and every orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells contains exactly one clue, the value of which represents the size of the area. Solve online     Double Yajisan-Kazusan:      Shade some dominoes of cells so that no two shaded dominoes are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. If a cell with a number in it is unshaded, the number represents how many shaded dominoes can be seen in a straight line in the indicated direction, partially or tot...

       Place lights in some cells so that every cell is illuminated. Lights illuminate the cell they’re in as well as all cells seen in a straight line horizontally or vertically, not obstructed by a black cell. Lights may not illuminate each other. Clues represent the number of lights in the (up to) four cells surrounding the clue. Solve online

       Place a number from 1 to N into each cell so that each row and column contains every number from that range with no repeats, where N is the side length of the grid. A clue outside the grid represents how many cells in the corresponding row or column contain a larger number than all cells before it in that row or column from the direction of the clue.

       Draw rectangular loops through the centers of empty cells so that every empty cell gets used. The sides of different rectangles may intersect each other, but not turn at their intersection or otherwise overlap. Solve online

      Jeffrey Bardon / IHNN recently challenged me (in a sense) to create three variants or hybrids from his December 2020 daily streak, and I did it! Here's the third one, a hybrid between Kakuro and Kropki. His can be found here .      The first puzzle from this challenge was a  hybrid between Nurikabe and Araf , and the second was a  hybrid between Moon or Sun and Balance Loop .      Place a number from 1 to 9 into each empty cell so that no number is repeated in any unobstructed horizontal or vertical line. A clue on the bottom of a blocked cell represents the sum of the numbers in the vertical line below it. A clue on the right side of a blocked cell represents the sum of the numbers in the horizontal line to its right. Clues cannot see numbers through other blocked cells.  All pairs of orthogonally adjacent cells containing numbers with a 1:2 ratio are marked with a black dot. All pairs of orthogonally adjacent cell...
