This post contains three puzzles, all of which are appearing in the same session at the WPC. You may want to try these to get some practice.
1. Rassi silai
A simple path puzzle where construction relies on choosing shapes that restrict subpaths within the shape, while not making the puzzle look too trivial. I think this is one of those puzzles which are expected to be solved by every participant.
Rules: Thread a rope in each region. A rope is a path that passes through all cells of the region, between two cells that are end-points. Endpoints don't touch each other, not even diagonally.
2. I suppose "Falling letters" has something to do with the direction most of the competitors are flying to attend the WPC.
The puzzle I posted here would be my first. There is a key connectivity logic in the central 'T' region, otherwise there is nothing much going on.
Rules:
Place letters into some cells in the grid. Same letters cannot share a side, and blank cells cannot share a side. Each outlined region must be filled in alphabetical order, starting with ‘A’, from left to right and top to bottom. Each outlined region contains at least one blank cell. Cells with the letters form a single connected area.
3. Rectangular numbers was conceptualized by someone from India.
Rules: Place any one number from 1 to 4 exactly once in each of the thickly outlined regions. Every row and column must contain either no number, or two instances of the same number. Numbers cannot be placed in black cells. Rest of the Shading is inconsequential to the solution.
