Fugdale’s Funhouse

Sudoku

Everyone should be familiar with this by now. Fill in the blanks with numbers from 1-9 so each row and column has one of each digit.

Battleships

To solve this puzzle, also made famous by Games Magazine, you use the numbers on the edges to determine the placement of several differently sized battleships.

Kakuro

This crossword style puzzle uses numbers. Clues in the black squares give you the sum total of all digits in that row or column. You must determine the digits.

Hitori

The object is to shade squares of numbers in a grid so that the same number doesn’t appear in a row or column more than once. Also no shaded area can touch another shaded area.

Slitherlink

Connect the dots surrounding each clue so that the number of lines equals the value of the clue and forms a continuous path with the other lines.

Link-a-Pix

Join pairs of numbers in a grid with a single unbroken line (often of a specific color). When you connect the right pairs of numbers a picture will form.

Pic-a-Pix

This is based on the Paint-by-Numbers from Games Magazine. Use the number clues on the edges to determine where pixels are placed on the grid to form a picture.

Fill-a-Pix

Each number in the grid shows how many of the nine surrounding squares is filled in. Use the numbers and logic to create an image.

Maze-a-Pix

Find the true path from start to finish, like a traditional maze. Only your solution will form an image.

Dot-a-Pix

For the younger folks, you solve these puzzles in a connect-the-dot fashion.

Addendum: Thanks to Leena (in the comments below) for pointing out where to access the weekly puzzles. I altered the original post to reflect that change. Check out Leena’s blog for a great pic-a-pix tutorial.
