New Puzzles!

These are the newest puzzles on the site. If you've been through the puzzles and are just after the newest ones, you can find them all here on one convenient page, rather than searching all the categories looking for them. You can keep checking back to this one page each week or join the mailing list and not miss a thing. New puzzles are added regularly. Clicking on 'Solution' for a puzzle pops up a solution window like this. All solutions will appear in that window. You can then re-arrange the main window and the solutions window to appear on your desktop separately. This way, you can have a permanent solutions window that is refreshed when you view a new solution without disturbing the main window.
