No commentsHidoku # 17
- Details
In the last article, I told you about classic Hidoku, i.e. made on a rectangular grid with square cells. But this game offers great flexibility for the game creator in me. Why limit yourself to square cells in a rectangular grid? Here's a variation using the Cairo motif. The cells are pentagonal (5-sided), so a cell in the center can access 7 other cells, unlike a square cell, which can access 8 other cells. The visual aspect is refreshing!

You could find Hidoku in my two books. The firts one Hidoku Galore contains rectangular grids but also grid with hexagons and gris with different shapes. The second Offbeat Hidoku contain grid made of squares,triangles, hexagons et many other shapes, all often all mixed up in the same puzzle. Which creates stunning geometric grids.

Hidoku # 16
- Details
Here are two Hidoku puzzles. A path runs through all the squares; step by step and square by square. Some squares contain the steps of the path. All you have to do is fill in the empty squares. The path starts from square 1 and ends in the two puzzles at square 64. The path is tortuous, so it's up to you to recreate it using your logical faculties.

Dancing Sudokus # 7
- Details
When 8 sudokus meet and make a farandole, we have a dancing sudoku puzzle. One Sudoku shares a region with another, and this other Sudoku shares a region with another, and so on until the 7th Sudoku shares a region with the first. This evokes a dance where 8 sudokus hold hands, hence the game's title. A game for those who love sudoku. I'm embarrassed to realize that the last time I published this puzzle was in 2021.

Ripple Effect # 6
- Details
The Ripple Effect puzzle is visually similar to Suguru, i.e. numbers from 1 to 5 distributed in regions of size 1 to 5 in a rectangular grid. The difference is that in Suguru, a number in a cell must be different from the numbers in the neighboring cells around that cell, whereas in Ripple Effect the number of cell a number must not be in depends on the number in question. For example, if a cell contains a 4, then the four cell to the right, left, above and below it must not contain a 4. Note that unlike Suguru, this does not apply to diagonal cells. You must therefore fill each region with the numbers according to the size of the region (a region of size 1 will have the number 1, a region of size 2 will have the numbers 1 and 2 and so on up to regions of size 5).
This constraint, linked to the number of neighboring cells a number must not occupy, brings a new challenge as well as a certain amount of fun to solving this game.
Here are 3 puzzles. On your marks, get set, go!
