This is nice!

Readers may also enjoy Simon Tatham's puzzle collection, available for mobile as well: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/

(My favorite currently is Dominosa. Playing the Hard mode is teaching me new patterns.)

I feel like I shouldn't need to say this, but Simon is also the Author of the awesome PuTTY. Until fairly recently, a vital tool of anyone doing remote management from Windows.

Strong +1 to Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. One note: the main iOS app is a little wonky in places. I've been using Kyle Swarmer's "Puzzles Reloaded" app, which is a little nicer in places.

Wow, didn't know this existed until today. Thanks!

Yeah, this collection is _awesome_. I'm currently enjoying the Towers (just do it on 5x5 simple, and find it quite relaxing!).

Mine is currently Net, 7x7 grid with wrapping variant. I take about 5 minutes on average to solve a level, which is the sweet spot for me

Oh, this is kinda fun, I'm gonna play with it for a bit!

I install Simon's collection on every device of mine, as well as PySol.

(I'm stuck on Guess aka Mastermind right now, and damn good at it if I say so myself! Also Solo aka Sudoku on 6 sub-blocks, with X+Jigsaw+Killer & No symmetry+Unreasonable difficulty.)

This one is so good. Original puzzles, works fine on mobile. Very future proof.

My favorite is pearl.

(Over a decade ago now?) I created https://kardland.com with a couple of solitaire games. No ads or other bullshit.

I had intended to add more solitaire games but moved on to other projects. At the time it was an excuse for me to learn Javascript.

Nice! The first app I built and put is https://peopleneed.love Just a simple site to let random people encourage other random people. It was a good way for me to learn some of the Ruby on Rails Hotwire tools.

The MacOS build on the page is quite old, and doesn't reflect recent fixes/enhancements. If you want to build it from source for MacOS the included instructions won't work because Simon's 'halibut' documentation tool will be missing.

So you need to:

1) Build Halibut from source:

   git clone https://git.tartarus.org/simon/halibut.git
   cd halibut
   cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
   cmake --build build -j
   # binary lands at: halibut/build/halibut

2) Build the puzzles app, pointing CMake at that halibut binary. Do this in a fresh build dir (don't reuse a stale top-level CMakeCache.txt that already recorded HALIBUT-NOTFOUND):

   cd /path/to/puzzles
   cmake -B build-osx -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
       -DHALIBUT=/full/path/to/halibut/build/halibut
   cmake --build build-osx -j

3) Now you have build-osx/Puzzles.app and can (optionally) build the dmg:

   cd build-osx && cpack
