Here’s a Pentominous puzzle. I tried to have the clues spell out dictionary words, but only one out of four survived to the finished puzzle. Despite of that, I’m happy with the puzzle.
Standard Pentominous rules. See the rules page for a bank of pentominoes.
It’s Father’s Day here today, so I made this. It’s also the first 9×9 sudoku I’ve ever made.
Regular Sudoku rules.
I try to have something to post something each week, but apparently it just wasn’t meant to happen last week.
Anyways, here’s a Heyawake. I’m a bad judge of difficulty, especially if the puzzle in question took a lot of iterating, so I’m going to say it’s not easy but probably not hard either.

As the previous one, made for the sake of practise. I think I like this one better.
Regular Crosslink rules.
My Slitherlink skills could definitely use some improvement, so for practise I made this. It’s pretty easy, but at least I got it to be antisymmetric.

(EDIT: Fixed a transcription error. I think the old one was solvable, too, though.)
I noticed I forgot to specify a rule yesterday: the rule that numbers may not repeat within a region. I did correct it soon enough after posting the puzzle, though.
A version without a no-repeats rule could well be interesting as well: then, there’s a choice on how to interpret regions with repeated numbers.
Anyways, today’s puzzle operates under the no-repeats rule.
Standard Unique Sets rules.
To my knowledge, this is an original puzzle type (but do tell me if someone’s already invented and named it).
This puzzle should serve as an easy starter, but I quite like the example puzzle on the rules page as well.
Regular Unique Sets rules.
Apparently I’m in the mood for 15×15 puzzles. Here’s a Nurikabe.

To kick off this new blog, here’s a 15×15 Yajilin. It turned out a bit… odd, but not in a bad way.

Neither one has a fully symmetric clue layout, but I’m happy with them as they are.
Regular Masyu rules.
The full title of this one is Alternating Liars Masyu. In addition to regular Masyu rules, half the clues are liars: that is, a liar white pearl acts like a black pearl, and vice versa. The loop must alternate between truthful and liar pearls: going around the loop, every other pearl must be a liar.
This one is an Alternating Masyu. In addition to regular Masyu rules, the loop must alternate between white and black pearls: going around the loop, every other pearl must be black.
While using guesswork might be tempting, there is a particular insight this puzzle was built around.
