v1.18 (redid puzzle 5)


Sorry to keep making big changes, but Puzzle 5 seemed rather dull, and had a small issue ("tine"). This new version has a few tricks up its sleeve, but has a non-rectangular shape to make searching a bit less tedious. It may or may not be worth trying, for folks who already beat the game.

Change list v1.18 [no major spoilers]

  • Complete overhaul of puzzle 5. It is now properly difficult, and avoided the "tine" issue introduced v1.12.
  • Reduced the listed tally at the end by 6, for clarity.
  • Tweaked puzzle 10 (swapped t6 and g6 for a small Easter egg)


Change list for v1.14 - v1.17 [some SPOILERS]  [incomplete]

(for my fellow patch-note enjoyers)

  • New title page! No more "Created by Jeremy [blot]". Minimal title for PC, fancy warning box for print version. (Moved self-credit to end.)
  • Removed notes page from PC version, we all have Notepad or whatever.
  • New hint for 12, the leftmost letter of the last blank. (Initially "W", now "A".)
  • Changed finale wording (again). Puzzle 11: a8 -> a17 (making it bigger and trickier). Puzzle 12: n15 gave 2 words to puzzle 11, and got "as ... now have". Yay, proper grammar!
  • Print version has a small hint for puzzle 3, since they're at a disadvantage.
  • smaller
  • Removed accidental red herring from puzzle 8 by redrawing c5's glyph (90° -> 45°) and reversing s7.
  • Shrank a blot in puzzle 10 just for fun, which accidentally removed a red herring.
  • A blue marker now has no outline.

Sorry to be nitpicky, but the proper proper grammar would be "as ... have now".
