Puzzle 14- Masyus

 Here's 3 Masyus. The first two are masyus that use only black circles. The third masyu was made without a theme. I just wanted to make a masyu that extensively employed "don't close the loop" logic. While it didn't use as much of that logic as I wanted, I still think it turned out ok. 

Rules: Draw lines through orthogonally adjacent cells to form a loop that goes through every circle. The loop cannot branch off or cross itself. The loop must turn on black circles and travel straight through the cells before and after the circle. The loop must go straight through white circles, and turn in at least one of the cells on either side.

Puzzle 21 - Masyu

Another day, another masyu (day 3!). I'm honestly pretty surprised this is unique. I originally wanted to make a puzzle on a 10x10 using just black pearls, but then wanted it to fit a theme. This is also a lot tougher than I intended it to be, but it solves logically. Puzz.link Interface Rules- Draw lines through orthogonally adjacent cells to form a loop that goes through every circle.

Puzzle 18 - Masyu

Wow, this took quite a while to make! I originally wanted this to be on a 17x17 grid, but realized the odd number of pearls on the edges made it impossible. This theme was surprisingly hard to construct, and uniqueness was hard to prove at the end. However, I think it turned out quite well.  Rules- Draw lines through orthogonally adjacent cells to form a loop that goes through every circle. The loop cannot branch off or cross itself.

Puzzle 10 - Slitherlink

 I wanted to make another slitherlink with djmathman , both using the same theme. However, I thought to include a mini-theme in my puzzle. It took a while to set, but it's unique and I'm very happy with how it turned out. Rules:  Draw lines along the edges of some cells to form a loop. The loop cannot branch off or cross itself. A number indicates the amount of edges surrounding the cell that are visited by the loop. Puzz.link Interface
