 Now that Twitter links are no longer being picked up by the puzz.link scraper, I suppose I'll be posting all my puzzles here for the time being. If anything, it's a good excuse to bring some more life to this blog. Classic Chained Block - nothing too tricky but hopefully fun. Difficulty 2.5/5 (rules from Puzzle Rules) Shade some cells such that each connected group of shaded cells contains exactly one clue. Clues must be shaded, and indicate the size of their group of shaded cells. Each group of shaded cells must be connected by a corner to at least one other, forming networks. Two shaded groups belonging to the same network may not have the same shape and size, counting rotations and reflections as the same.

This genre keeps drawing me back in - it's so much fun to set and solve. After two relatively straightforward ones, I tried  writing a bigger and harder one this time. I'm particularly fond of the ending (hopefully you'll figure out why)!   Difficulty: 4/5 (rules from  Puzzle Rules ) Shade some cells such that each connected group of shaded cells contains exactly one clue.

    Chained Block has been on my to-set list for a while, but I never got around to trying to write one - until now! I went for deductions a bit different from what I usually see in these puzzles, and I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
