Puzzle #389 - One Away (Akari)

Akari is always a fun type to make and solve- there's a lot of room for expression and varied deductions, and even the easy ones have a very satisfying sense of flow. This is probably a 3 star puzzle, roughly, and I'm very pleased with the logic I managed to include with this visual theme.

I aimed for something Nikoli-style with this and I'm not totally sure I succeeded there. Should be a great puzzle regardless of whether or not I hit that goal.

WSPC Report - WPC side

The WSPC 2021 recently concluded, and so I can post my experiences going through the 10 rounds of the WPC side. I'm writing these shortly after attempting each round, and will update with final placements/relative scores. (1st/10th/my score) Let's go!

Puzzle #388 - Lost in the Labyrinth (Statue Park)

I had another puzzle posted over on GMPuzzles today, this time a Statue Park. I really like this type and at the time hadn't really seen all white puzzles, while all black were reasonably common and I'd even done it myself. Fun fact about this puzzle: I originally made it for prototyping for something else entirely, but decided it wasn't a good fit there and that it was worth submitting to GMP.
