This week is a variety week on GMPuzzles, so I decided to see if I could emulate these puzzles on my own blog. More specifically, my goal is to replicate both the genre and (approximate) difficulty of the puzzles posted each day this week on the blog. Of course, creating a week of high-quality puzzles is pretty hard, hence the name 🙂 We'll see how this goes; I probably won't be able to match the difficulty or quality of the Saturday puzzle, but I can certainly try. (In particular, I would appreciate comments on difficulty, since I'm still at the point of construction where estimating difficulty is hard.)
First up, a 1 star Araf puzzle. Araf is a strange type that I don't have too much experience with; I have the e-book but haven't gotten too far in it, for instance. Here's my attempt at constructing a puzzle in this genre.
