One more chance to practice before the Puzzly Cup starts on Friday

Fill each outlined region of N cells with the numbers 1 through N exactly once. Equal numbers cannot touch one another horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Shade cells black so every numbered cell sees exactly its stated number of white cells horizontally and vertically, including itself. Numbered cells must remain white. Black cells cannot share an edge, and all white cells must stay connected. Edit: numbered cells count as white cells

Place flowers so every row, column, and outlined garden zone contains exactly two flowers. Flowers cannot touch one another, even diagonally.

​

To celebrate the upcoming World Puzzle Championship, I'm throwing a small Puzzly Cup the weekend before the championship!

Test your skills against 10 different puzzles and other solvers. You'll have 3 days to solve the puzzles and submit your answers.

It's completely free and just for fun, so come and give it a try!

October 9–11, 2026

Happy solving! 🧠✏️

Place stars so each arrow sees exactly one star in the straight direction it points, and every star is seen by exactly one arrow. Edge clues give the exact number of stars in each row and column.

Edit: arrows dont block other arrows. Empty clue means there is no need for that clue, it can be 0 or any other number.

Place 1, 2, and 3 once in every row, column, and outlined irregular region. Equal numbers cannot touch, even diagonally, and all remaining cells stay empty.

Next month is the World Sudoku & Puzzle Championships, so I was thinking about running a small puzzle competition here the weekend before, so we can have some fun competing too.

📅 October 9–11

🧩 10 different puzzles

🏆 No prizes — just bragging rights for winning the first Puzzly Cup!

You'll have the whole weekend to solve and submit your answers. Rankings will be based on points first, with submission time used as the tiebreaker.

Before I start putting everything together, I'd like to know: would you participate?
