Country : United States | Also for Pencils, I think the example puzzle is non-unique in the path that the 3-pencil can take. |

In "Alphabet Blocks", can alphabets repeat across blocks (i.e. can Die1 and Die2 both contain "A"s for e.g.)? It doesn't happen in the example that's why asking if it explicitly cannot repeat?
Yes the rules do not prohibit alphabets repeating across blocks |

Yes, pencil lines from pencils with no numbers have same size as the pencil. Rules and example will be updated in next version |

Country : India | kheti posted @ 2021-12-15 1:43 PM In "Easy as Snake" the sequence of the words can be confusing. Because of the nature of the example, it was clear in the example but if it is more generic words one might get confused with "Uno Dos Tres" or Uno Tres Dos". |

You need to pass all stones. Grey markings are only for the answer key. |

Country : United States | It appears that the example puzzle for Cross The Streams got column 2 cut off a bit. |

Country : United States | The Icebarn example has an incorrect solution. In the upper right, two arrowheads collide along the solution's path. There is a solution, it's just not that one. |

Also, the third row should probably have the symbols switched. |
