There are about a dozen logic games on the site, but this is my favorite.

March 22 puzzle, very first attempt, 6x6, no wrap: 1:41.

I could get addicted to this. And it's probably healthier than my newfound addiction to Ritz crackers.

March 21 puzzle, 6x6, no wrap: 1:36. (I was a little surprised when the last piece clicked into place.)

March 20 puzzle, 6x6, no wrap: 1:40.

March 22 puzzle, 12x12, no wrap: 14:22.

March 21 puzzle, 12x12, no wrap: 14:52.

March 23 puzzle, 6x6, no wrap: 1:26.

The no-wrap puzzles are just for warmup, right?

March 30

no wrap
6x6 0:59
9x9 3:11
12x12 8:47

wrap
6x6 3:13
9x9 3:26
12x12 21:06

Those were all first attempt except the last, which was something like the fourth attempt due to a few errors and interruptions.

Was this a typo, or is there some way to get a 16x16 puzzle? I thought I saw something a few days ago about larger puzzles available only if you log in, but I've now registered and can't find anything like that.

not a typo. if you register, then on Fridays, there are bonus, larger puzzles. apparently they are not available on non-fridays even if you got back to the historical dates.

at least, those are my assumptions, because i DID do a 16x16.

It's nice to play some slow songs, so the old folks can dance too.

Age old adage "Practise makes perfect" seems so true
I finish no wrap of all sizes in 5 to 6 minutes.
12 X 12 wrap sometimes takes me an attempt more.
After so much of practise , the position of the "next link" in the network seems so obvious . Seems like my brain's network has got wired like the one in the game

Today is friday, and as a registered user, many of the daily puzzles have a larger size. you can't get to it from the page with the drop-down size, but from the "today" page.

Now that I'm four years older and wiser...
The public (not logged in) 12x12 wrap for today: 4:31.

That may be a new personal best for me for that size.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
