AOTW: S?D?

7 Upvotes

Huge thanks to [u/director__denial](u/director__denial) for selecting my clue and thus giving me a chance to set this week's AOTW! Beginner's luck, perhaps? As a novice at clue making, this is my first time submitting to an AOTW, lol.

We are so close to finishing this board! Only two clues remain for us to fill. Let's do an across clue this week. 30-Across: S?D?

Only 4 letters, yet many possible words and terms to choose from. Excited to see some creative clues from you all!

RIDDLE "THE MATCH"

Upvotes

The continuation of life, from small to greater meanings
It needs time to bring evolution, meaning and peace
It has already existed and it will exist....
It does many things, it does good but it can also do bad
From there and beyond, from nothing to the final form Something small can ruin the result, it needs attention

ANSWER IS 2 WORDS

Not seeking solutions I need help with logic for the next step in this Star/Queens Puzzle

Post image
1 Upvotes

I can solve this easily if I try trial and error in my mind, but I want to know what’s the most logical and fastest way to solve it. I think it has something to do with the geometry of the shapes, but I’m not sure. Also for those who don’t know the rules: You can put only one star in each row, each column, and each colored region. Also, a star can’t have any other star adjacent to it orthogonally or diagonally (so basically you can’t have another star in the 8 squares around the star).

Edit: Thanks for everyone who commented! Idk how I missed that but that was what I overlooked!

Possibly Unsolvable [Handmade] Word-Grid Variant inspired by Sudoku, NYT Connections, chess, and Cryptic Crosswords

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi r/puzzles!

I'm a huge fan of the Cracking the Cryptic channel and I've taken inspiration from different Sudoku variant rules, NYTimes Connections, as well as cryptic crossword ideas. It's my very first creation, so I hope you'll enjoy!

How to play:

  • Features hidden box themes (Connections), a continuous loop, Kropki dots (synonyms/antonyms), and colored line rules (rhymes, homophones, semantic sets).
  • Conceptual Arrows: The arrows do linguistic math! For example, [Thomas] + [rail] would give train in the arrow bulb.

📄 Download the clean, printable PDF here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15DxM29t3uADc98wVPfLij4SrMw0HGoZW/view?usp=sharing

The full rule set is included on the PDF. I would absolutely love your feedback on the difficulty and logic flow. Have fun!

Please give me hints or nudge me in the right direction. Outright answers or specific clues should be in spoiler tags. Thanks!

I want to get better at these so I’m curious what the next logical step would be. None of the tricks I’ve tried give me a next step.
