The WPC opens with a Sum skyscrapers puzzle. Double Letter Easy As is also part of the same session.
This post contains one example of each of those puzzles.
1. Sum Skyscrapers:
Considering the points allocation, and my guess on the theme being potentially nearly similar to what I have used here, I think the WPC puzzle has to be a 7x7.
Rules:Place a digit from 1 to N, in an NxN grid, into each of the empty cells so that each digit appears exactly once in each row and column. Each digit inside the grid represents the height of the skyscraper in that cell. Each number outside the grid represents the sum of heights of skyscrapers that can be seen in the corresponding row or column. Taller skyscrapers hide shorter ones.
2. Double Easy As :
Again, I suspect this theme might be used, based on the points given to that puzzle.
Rules: Place the letters from the given word in the grid, such that each row and each column contains all the letters. Letters must be used as many times as they appear in the word. Identical letters can’t touch each other by a side. Some cells in the grid will remain empty. Letters on the outside indicate that this letter is seen first in the corresponding row or column when looking from that direction.

Edit: This had two solutions in the far-left. Modified to address that.
