UPDATE: Sudokurossword (and the End of Easy Versions)

It's been about a week since I posted my sudoku-crossword hybrid, and so far, an impressive 9 people have solved it. Usually, this is where I put an easier version of the puzzle... but starting today, there will be no more easy versions! I came to that decision after asking my solvers whether or not I should continue with them considering that no one has used them in quite a while. Their responses are below the break, in case you're curious as to how they answered; you might get a hint or two as to what I'm replacing the easy versions with. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that I've already adopted a new system to replace the easier versions starting with tomorrow's puzzle, where it'll be explained in more detail. Hope to see you then!

EASY VERSION: Tet Words

It's been a week since I've published my "Pent Words" variant known as "Tet Words", and so far, 7 people have managed to solve it. I don't know if anyone still wants the easier versions I put out around this time, but on the off chance that you do, just go below the break!

EASY VERSION: Word Squares: Tetris Edition

It's been almost a week since I've posted "Word Squares: Tetris Edition", and despite the potentially confusing instructions, 8 people so far have successfully solved it. If you want to add to that total, but want an easier version to solve, just go below the break and print out the picture! Not only are the clues in order, you don't even have to mentally rotate the letters inside the Tetris pieces anymore! Oh, and sorry if the last Across clue for Grid #2 has part of the answer in it; I couldn't think of any better clues for that entry!

EASY VERSION: Tetris Blockout

Boy, my last puzzle must've been just as hard to solve as it was to make, because so far, only 5 people have managed to figure it out so far (All of whom have managed to do so in the first day of its posting). Fortunately, I've provided an easier version below the break, as always, and included in that are easier clues as well as the Tetris blocks already being placed. Then again, considering that this week's FINAL ANSWER is one of the answers in the puzzle, I might've made this Easy Version TOO easy...

EASY VERSION: Super Sixes

It's been roughly a week since I've posted my "Super Sixes" puzzle, and so far, 10 people have solved it, seven of whom did so in the first 24 hours of this puzzle's posting! This also marks the first time the first week's worth of solvers passed the double-digit mark for a non-meta-crossword! If you want an easier version of this puzzle, go below the break for just that and print it out! Oh, and don't forget to send the FINAL ANSWER to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com before next week once you think you've figured it out!

It's been almost a week since I've published my second Pent Words puzzle, and so far 7 people have managed to successfully find its FINAL ANSWER (compare that to my previous attempt at this puzzle, where only five people solved it).

EASY VERSION: Spirals & Arrows

Well, it's been almost a week since I've published my "Spirals & Arrows" puzzle, and just like I thought it would, not nearly as many people solved this one compared to my second meta-crossword: only 6 solvers so far. In case you found my latest offering a bit difficult, an easier version can be found below the break.

EASY VERSION: Infinigrid

It's been about a week since I published my 8-shaped 8th puzzle, and so far, I've had 7 people solve it, almost all of whom managed to solve it on the first day of publication! If you want a version of the puzzle with easier clues and clues #9-15 actually marked on the grid, just go below the break!

EASY VERSION: Flower Power

I knew that first Flower Power puzzle of mine was going to be hard, and since only 4 people have managed to solve it so far, that just confirms it! If you want a version with easier clues that are actually sorted in separate clockwise and counterclockwise sections, just go below the break! (Warning: Expect a LOT of anagrams!) Remember to send me the FINAL ANSWER once you're done before next Sunday!

EASY VERSION: Anagram Chambers

It's been about a week, and so far, 6 solvers have cracked my first "Anagram Chambers" puzzle. As usual, there's an easier version of this puzzle, and I've posted it below the break. Just beware that the only change I've made is that the chambers are now in the correct order.

EASY VERSION: Word Squares

Well, it's been almost a week, and so far, 6 people have completed my latest puzzle. If you want an easier version that actually has the clues listed under separate sections and in order, just hit below the break! If you haven't solved it yet, make sure you send me the answers before next week!

EASY VERSION: Double Chain Reaction

It's been roughly a week since I published my first game-show-inspired puzzle, and so far, 4 people have solved it. As usual, I publish an easier version of the puzzle around this time, and you can get this below the break. Make sure you send me the answers before next week to get credit for solving it!

EASY VERSION: Pent Words #1

I assume that with a puzzle as complex as Pent Words, some people may have a little trouble with it. Apparently, I was proven right, because thus far, only 2 people have solved it, so since you most likely need the extra help, I've provided an easier version below the break. If it's the case that the clues were stumping you guys (even though I told you on the sidebar that you can look them up), this new version also includes easier clues, but be warned that for tomorrow's puzzle, there won't be a version with easier clues, so make sure that you look up the ones causing you trouble! Next Sunday, I'll post the answers, so make sure you email me before then to get your name/username posted on the solvers list!
