1. The Grid
by Puzzle Prime
Figure out how the last portion (7×5 in yellow) of the grid should be colored in black and white.
2. Hexado
by Dr. DJ Upton
Place arrows along hexagon edges so that the number of arrows pointing to each hexagon equals the number of dots inside, adhering to the following rules:
- Arrows cannot be touching.
- Arrows cannot be placed on dashed edges.
3. Segments
by Puzzle Prime
Use at most 27 segments to create the largest number with distinct digits.
Notes: For example, the number 273914 would use 5+3+5+6+2+4=25 segments.
4. Constellations
by Raindrinker
Connect the stars with lines, so that the number inside each star corresponds to the number of lines connected to it, and the number outside each star corresponds to the total number of stars in its group.
Note: No line connecting two stars can pass through a third star.
5. Chess Connect
by Puzzle Prime
The starting and ending positions of 6 chess pieces are shown on the board. Find the trajectories of the pieces, if you know that they do not overlap and completely cover the board.
Notes: The pieces can not backtrack. Two trajectories can intersect diagonally but can not pass through the same square. Only the Knight has a discontinuous trajectory.
6. Broken Square
by Puzzle Prime
Use exactly 5 out of these 16 pieces to build a 7×7 grid, without overlapping.
Note: You can rotate the pieces, but you cannot mirror them.
Puzzle Prime is tirelessly looking all around the internet to find the very best puzzles and bring them all to puzzleprime.com.
