Snaketember : Hebi-Ichigo !

     This month, I'm publishing 10 Hebi-Ichigos every 3rd day (next one will be on the 5th, then 8th, and so on.) I'll also be reworking the presentation of the blog, and clarifying the rating system, for which any feedback on difficulty is appreciated ! The idea is really only to have an indication of the solving experience. In all cases, here are the rules for the puzzle :

    Place numbers into some of the empty cells to form snakes.

- Each snake consists of a sequence of 5 consecutive numbers which are orthogonally adjacent.

- Two snakes cannot share a border.

- The number 1 denotes the snake's head. Snakes are facing in the direction away from its second number. Snakes cannot look directly at other snakes, unless separated by a black cell.

- Numbers on black cells indicate the first number seen in the given direction. Arrows don't point past other black cells.

Puzzle #1 (10x10, easy/✏️✏️)

Placement Platter #1

      Tetrochain, Tren, RGB Akari, W.Briquet and Hebi-Ichigo : finally, we are serving a batch of Object Placement puzzles. These are the most diverse in shapes and rulesets, and may need to be studied before attempting big puzzles. Only Hebi-Ichigo is tougher than what I can recommend for beginners, and Iwa Daigeki has plenty of smaller, easier ones if you don't want to leave this one out. Tetrochain CBT is a twist I like with Tetrochain, you can check the puzzles I've made with the tags on the right. I promise posts focusing on one type will return.

     Thanks to Wisteria for testing the RGB Akari, and Wessel for testing the Wittgen, the Tetrochain, and attempting the Hebi.
