Same here in Alabama, USA
Most frustrating, as we have been out of town and I was trying to print all the hard, very hard puzzles we had missed.

Only two hard/very hard in the past 11 days. BORING!

Thanks arkietech. I miss those all the time Mad

Marty, don't have a number. This is the Saturday puzzle from the Naples (Florida) Daily News. They call it a six star. A few years ago I posted ...

A whole week of easy puzzles. What's up?

I also have this puzzle and am stopped. So I am sure there is a step that is beyond my ability.

Can't believe this one. So easy even I got it quickly!

Thanks for the help. I was able to solve this puzzle, but don't know if I will be able to find it on my own another day. But wait, I did master the XYZ wing so maybe....

Could you offer some explanation of skyscraper. I have tried to understand this method, but can't seem to put it to use. Thanks

I solved this puzzle with no pencilings, so it must have only been a "hard"

Happy New Year!

I solved it first go round, so it wasn't that hard. But I feel good!

Thank you for the information.

Did we offend someone when you requested more VHs? What a boring week!
