Diagonal Sudoku

This is my first upload here. To begin with its a medium level Diagonal Sudoku. Hopefully soon we might see some different and interesting variants too.

Septigon Slitherlink

Hi Folks,

This is my first contribution to Perplexibles. I’m calling this a “Septigon Slitherlink”. This is 7-fold variation of the Snowflake Slitherlinks, one of many unusual Slitherlinks that you can find on my puzzle site, Krazydad.

6/9 Flip Slithery Sum Sudoku

Jim of KrazyDad.com fame suggested I kick off this blog with an inaugural post to set some sort of direction for it. What I envisioned is being able to provide a venue for established puzzle authors and occasional authors or newcomers to mix it up and just have a place to post puzzles and share them with an audience. That’s what I wanted when I started The Griddle 6 years ago, when a friend helped me get hosting and start fleshing out the site with content and code so that I could share the puzzles I’d made for friends, classmates, and teachers with a whole new audience.

So I guess that’s where I’m coming from as far as the spirit of the blog. As far as actual content and style, I envisioned something more like what Thomas Snyder, Palmer Mebane, and Grant Fikes do, with straight up puzzles, and maybe a bit of editorial commentary here and there. In fact, this puzzle is inspired by puzzle variations seen in motris’s blog, as well as a hybrid type I’ve posted on The Griddle and in Sudoku Xtra in the past. It’s a 6/9 Flip Slithery Sum Sudoku, which is a mouthful.
