Puzzles in other publications 20 December 2022
I have had some of my puzzles included in other publications for the first time! I’m obviously not going to repost them here, but I figured it might be nice to link to them.
Puzz.link now supports Remembered Length, which I’m very happy about! However, my previous puzzles in the genre were either gimmicky or very hard, so I wanted to make an approachable one that doesn’t require any loop theory.
Coincidentally, here’s another puzzle in a genre I’ve come to appreciate thanks to Toketa Vol. 2. Someone on Discord posted a Compass-themed [some other genre] yesterday, and so I wanted to make a [some other genre]-themed Compass.
Amoebas was my favourite genre in Toketa Vol. 2 and now that I’m done with the book, I wanted to construct one myself. I’m really intrigued by the idea of time series puzzles in general. I’ve only seen a couple of other genres like this, and Amoebas seems to be the most interesting one of them.
This one has been on my list of Rail Pool variants to try since coming across Elimination Tapa in Toketa Vol. 1 a few months ago. I’ve found it really tough to actually construct this though, so I kept putting it off. That said, I’m quite happy with how this turned out now that I sat down to make one.
More fun with dancing loops to start the year! The solve path after the break-in is a little wider than usual, but there’s a lot of fun deductions in any case.
I love this genre and yet I’ve only constructed two tiny puzzles so far, so I figured it was time to change that. This should be pretty tough, but I think there’s some neat logic here.
I said I would revisit this variant with other loop genres and of course the first one had to be Rail Pool.

It wouldn’t be a new genre of mine without a tougher puzzle that explores some of the fancier logic enabled by the ruleset. So here you go!
This was the first puzzle I made to try out the genre and it turned out well enough to publish. It doesn’t require every rule to solve though, so I made a separate introductory puzzle instead.
