Multi-Sudoku

Each puzzle consists of two or more Sudoku grids overlapping each other in various configurations. The grids may be Classic Sudoku or a mix of different Sudoku variants. The object is to solve all grids according to their variant rules. Note that overlapping areas comply with the rules of more than one grid.

Battleships

4

Each Battleship puzzle represents an ocean with a hidden fleet of ships, which may be oriented horizontally or vertically within the grid such that no ship touches another, not even diagonally. The numbers on the right and on the bottom of the grid show how many squares in the corresponding row and column are occupied by ship segments. Occasionally some squares may contain given ship or water segments to help start the puzzle. The object is to discover where all ships are located.


Hashi

Each puzzle is based on a rectangular arrangement of islands where the number in each island tells how many bridges are connected to it. The object is to connect all islands according to the number of bridges so there are no more than two bridges in the same direction. Bridges can only be vertical or horizontal and are not allowed to cross islands or other bridges. When completed, all bridges are interconnected, enabling passage from any island to another.

1 Unscramble these twelve letter strings to form each into an ordinary word (ex. HAGNEC becomes CHANGE). Prepare to use only ONE word from any marked ( ♥ ) letter string as each unscrambles into more than one word (ex. ♥ RATHE becomes HATER or EARTH or HEART). Fit each string’s word either across or down to knot all twelve strings together.
