Something Big?
This is my something big: It's a Consecutive Sudoku with a Masyu twist!
Consecutive Sudoku rules:
Fill the grid with digits so that each column, row, and 3×3 box contains all of the digits from 1 to 9. If two cells have a line between them, the two digits must be consecutive; if two cells do not have a line between them, the two digits must not be ( Read more... ) -
Jagged Digitile
It's been a whole week? I swear I've been working on something big. In its place:
Digitile! Place all ten letter images into the grid (along the grid lines), such that none of the images overlap. Each image must contain the square with the letter (if any) corresponding to the image. The letter images can be rotated, but not reflected.

Mutant Masyu
Standard Masyu Instructions are the following:
Find a single closed loop passing through each of the black and white circles. The path passes through the centers of adjacent squares. When passing through a black circle, the path must make a 90 degree turn and extend at least two squares in both directions. When passing through a white circle, the ( Read more... ) -
Digitile!

Place all ten letter images into the grid (along the grid lines), such that none of the images overlap. Each image must contain the square with the letter corresponding to the image. The letter images can be rotated, but not reflected.

Blackout Sum Sudoku
Stolen idea from Logic Masters India: Blackout Sum Sudoku!
Fill the empty cells with the digits 1-9, such that each row, column and marked 3x3 box contains no repeated numbers. Also, each row, column and 3x3 box will be missing one number, replaced with a blacked out box, and that box will contain the sum of the missing digits for that row, column ( Read more... ) -
Palate Cleanser
To make up for that last easy one, here's my hardest puzzle yet:
Two puzzles in one: Solve this Sudoku (using the digits 0-8) such that the resulting grid is a valid Slitherlink (using only the digits 0-3). Also, all instances of the digit 8 are sheep, and must be inside the Slitherlink loop.

Lynch Mob
UPDATE: This puzzle is broken. The Polyominoes is unsolvable. I'll get it fixed soon. Sorry for wasting anyone's time, and thanks to cyrebjr for letting me know.
Solve the four puzzles according to the regular rules for each. Also, the digit 4 appears in the same place inside each grid, (e.g., if there is a 4 in the top right corner of one puzzle, ( Read more... ) -
Super-Hard Crisscross
Another USPC-ish puzzle: Super-hard Crisscross! Enter the list of words into the grid, across and down, one letter per square. Words do not cross the bold lines. In some cases, a 10-letter entry will be made up of two concatenated 5-letter words. As in the USPC, there will either be one 10-letter word or two 5-letter words that do not fit in ( Read more... )
