Sudoku, towers, Star-battle, fillomino, Hybrids and one offs… ?
Hello everyone! I’ve just stumbled upon an unusual version of tic-tac-toe on a large board: Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe. I use to play here: https://tictactoefree.com/ultimate-tic-tac-toe
That’s an interesting take on it. I wonder if that version is “solved”. You reminded me of a 3d version on a really old version of windows. https://tcrf.net/TicTactics
I don’t play much any more but I used to love Picross
That’s my favourite too, I also really like those Zebra puzzels but only if there is a grid I can cross out.
I haven’t heard them by that name before. I like the cross the streams variant. Unfortunately I’ve played through them all. https://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/category/shading/cross-the-streams/
Oh, I honestly didn’t know it had a different name. Perhaps Picross is just the name for the video game version
Lots of names, most of the pencil puzzles do. The first name I associated with that type was pic-a-pix. I might have come across a few unnamed before that time though. The Wikipedia page has the name as nonogram. The cross the streams variant has some extra rules, 1 contiguous region and no 2x2 full.
Minesweeper
I can’t remember the last time I played. Never really liked the aesthetics of the windows versions after 7. If I’m in the mood I use https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/mines.html That version never requires guessing. To give myself a challenge I try to do it without flagging the mines.
Edit: realized its the xp version I liked, 7 was ugly.Nice. I use Minesweeper Online on desktop and Antimine on Android.
Word searches. I love word searches but I honestly can’t find ones featuring numbers or license plates
Decomposing the current time into prime factors. 24-hour-format, only one minute time, then the next one.
