I've been thinking about crosswords a lot recently.
I LOVE trying new types of puzzles. But, I tend to lose interest in a puzzle after solving a few of a type.
Crosswords aren't like this for me. I've done dozens (hundreds?) and still really enjoy them.

Been enjoying irregular Sudokus recently.
Like regular Sudokus, each value cannot repeat in a row, column or area. But the areas aren't always rectangles, they vary in shape.
This helps each puzzle feel novel.

Wow, this is super cool!
Solve one long path-drawing paper puzzle where each segment has different rules and was designed by a different puzzle designer: brokensign.com/puzzl...

I'm quickly becoming a convert from Svelte to React, but I can't stop myself from naming reusable state logic with "use" prefixes like React hooks.

I'm implementing backtracking algorithms (as part of solving/generating puzzles).
One interesting learning has been that the backtracking is much more effective when you can recognize a path is invalid early.

The UI is so intuitive that I never needed instructions --unfamiliar rules were instantly inferable from the interface.
Curious how he's generating the puzzles.
