Patchwork
Over the past year or so, I’ve worked on creating new variety puzzle types for my main puzzle outlet, Puzzlesnacks. Two of these new types, Cascades and Jelly Roll, have gone on to have debuts in the New York Times. Now a third has joined them: A new variety form called Patchwork. New York Times subscribers can find it here, and if you’d like to start off with an easier version before diving into the main course, it just so happens that Patchwork is the free Puzzlesnacks puzzle for May — it’s available here for a few more days.

Yes, I enjoyed Patchwork although I was stuck for awhile in the bottom left area when it became obvious that Oystercatcher, a black and white shorebird with an orange bill, was never going to fit in one of the locations. Stuff it, I concluded, and that led me to Puffin. I wrote it in ‘tho knowing that the amusing Puffins are grouped with seabirds (Penguins, Albatrosses) and not with the shorebirds.
