That would be nice, though, I'd like to figure out a way to make the shared results look clearly different from the daily results. Otherwise it'll be hard to spot the relevant ones from different feeds, if you're only into the daily ones.

Okay, I take it back. The mails seem to be working fine now using resend.

I sent a newsletter 2 hours ago, proudly explaining how I'm now using Resend.com as my new mailing system.

"What newsletter?" you might ask. Exactly...

Now looking into Postmark as the next alternative.

Was this your first solve? Well done!
But be prepared, the difficulty resets tomorrow (Monday)

Oh! Never heard of this. Will investigate, thanks for the tip!

There's a solver behind it, yes. I'd love to share more, but for now I'll keep the exact details under the radar, since it's kind of the secret ingredient. Hopefully one day I can make that documentary!

Akari puzzle, except you need to use the clues to make logical deductions!
The clues to solve the puzzle are in image 2, make sure to read the clarifications in image 3.

Just realized I’m so Clues by Sam pilled that I look at that grid & want to flip images to see who’s criminal / innocent

I like to spice things up with a typo or two at times to give it that homy handcrafted feeling, you know.
Thanks, fixed!

Honestly, I'm not sure. I decide to just use the non-ambiguous combination today, and will likely never use Q&P to avoid any confusion.

Yeah, I can! Though it'll take a while before I'll find the time... It's probably the No. 1 requested feature, so would make a lot of sense!

Did you try both innocent and criminal for all? So 10 attempts in total? If only one of them can be identified as criminal, testing innocent for all won't take you anywhere.

Games by Sam @gamesam.bsky.social · 13d

Also, did you try taking a hint? Much more rewarding than blind guessing.

Games by Sam @gamesam.bsky.social · 13d

Weird. Others haven't had this problem. Are you sure you didn't miss anything?

I believe the clue was "A and B share an odd number of innocent neighbours", which means "out of the people neighbouring both A and B, an odd number are innocents". It does not mean they both have an odd number of innocent neighbours. Hope this clarifies!
