Hi Andrea! Pleased to see you back up and running.

For those that don't know, Andrea submitted some puzzles for our earlier UKPCs

The addictive kwontomloop (Fences/Slitherlink) site now has a variations daily puzzle too. https://kwontomloop.com/var/index.php

There are 5 or 6 styles. I'm enjoying this new daily challenge. I expect some of you might too.

Thanks Tawan, I'll have a go!

4th 2nd place! Well done Neil!

(Edit: Oops! apologies Neil. That's fantastic!)

You can but grip matting online, or even at some supermarkets. Not that expensive, and might help.

Welcome Chris!

There's plenty practice material here for you.
Perhaps head to the contests tab on the main site, and try the old UK sudoku (and puzzle!) championships.

Yes, hope to see you, and many more new puzzlers, at the 2019 Open events!

Lunch break. No results yet...

Thanks Chris.

3rd round is in progress right now.
I will post updates as and when we get them

Hi Gav, Sorry to see nobody has replied to you yet... First, welcome! If you are prepared to challenge yourself, and start exploring the myriad of puzzle types in existence, then a very good starting point would be past competitions, perhaps search for 'beginners' so as not to be too overwhelmed at ...

The solution booklet is now available on the competition main page.

15 correct answers will earn the partial bonus.

Can you find similar document for Sudoku competitions?

I think the full results of all WSC championships (along with all WPCs since 2010) are in the WPF newsletters on the WPF site.

A warm welcome Dave

I hope you find something of interest here.

See you again soon
