Country snake - hard

This is my favourite snake variation(also known as Snake.BY).
Rules: The snake occupies exactly 3 cells in every outlined region.Head and tail of the snake lie in the shaded regions.

snake egg - hard



This one does not include a head and tail for the clues.It is not very hard though.

Rules:Place a snake without touching itself,except diagonally.The remaining cells should form different areas of different sizes,every area having only one numbered cell,the number indicating the size of the area.Also,one more area of unknown different size should be formed.

Minesweeper tapa - medium



This is one of the four tapa variations i created.

Rules: Regular tapa rules apply.Place the given number of mines in the white cells.Cells with a single digit indicate a tapa block or the number of mines around that cell,but not both.Multiple-digit clues indicate only tapa blocks.

Slitherlink



I tried to make it logically solvable.This is 80:20 logical:trial-n-error.The ending on the entire far right is a bit tough.

window tapa - easy


Another hybrid.I like the new puzzle windows very much.Not that i did not want to post a classic windows puzzle. The diagonal touching constraint and no 2x2 square come up very often in the logic path of a windows puzzle, though the path in the puzzle shown below is not guided by any of the two.

Rules: Shade some cells such that each outlined 2x2 square contains 2 edge-adjacent shaded cells.All shaded cells form a wall of connected cells,without any 2x2 square of all shaded or all white cells.The wall cannot touch itself diagonally,or overlap the clue cells,or include an island of white cells.The clues work like regular tapa clues.

LIliTS- hard





Latin pointers - medium



I liked this puzzle when i found it first on a blog.

Rules: Place digits 0-3 such that every row.column contains each digit exactly once.If a cell has an arrow,it indicates that the arrow is pointing to as many digits as the digit written in that cell.

Fillomino: Garbage collector


This is my favourite fillomino variation.It lets a variety of logic creep in.The logic with " no 1s and 2s" is definitely there,but there is much more than that.
