4. The Simon Tatham collection of puzzles, 40 different puzzle games, including a nonogram game
[nonogram=picture logic puzzles in which cells in a grid must be colored or left blank according to numbers at the edges of the grid to reveal a hidden picture]called "Pattern", which contains randomly-generated nonogram puzzles from any size that the player wants.

5. Yeardle for history buffs.

6. Waffle, a word game

7. kenken= an arthimatic and logic puzzle where the objective is to fill a grid with digits so that no digit appears more than once in any row or any column. KenKen grids are divided into heavily outlined groups of cells –– often called “cages” –– and the numbers in the cells of each cage must produce a certain “target” number when combined using a specified mathematical operation (one of addition, subtraction, multiplication or division).

3 Weeks 4 Dreamwidth (2025) Day 21 - the end

So I finally made my sticky post with all the puzzles that DW friends recommended during the Snowflake Challenge. So today's prompt is...

Day 21: rebus

A rebus is a pictogram word play. Like this offer of escort.



May I see you home, my dear?

For housekeeping purposes, here are the past prompts.

I forgot to add the questions! I really am scrambled today.

Day 21: Do you believe there is only one other person in the world for you or many?

(Except in fanfic for fun) I don't believe in soulmates or that everyone has one (and only one) soulmate. There are many different combinations and permutations, and life is long for some and cut short for others, so NO (not only one) and NO (not many either)! The concept of soulmates also interjects magic where hard work and emotional maturity and many other elements related to individuals and the society they live in matter more.
