#171 GAPP Collection XXI

Updated: Aug 4, 2023

GAPP stands for Guide Arrow Pencil Puzzles! Wait, err... that's not right, is it? I've been away from doing GAPP for so long that I must have forgot!! Due to IRL complications I've had to take a break from making these, but when I came back onto the team recently I thought it would be fun to kick things off with a mini-series. This set is five variations on one of my new favorite pencil puzzles, Guide Arrow! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do If you'd like to solve these as they release daily, and read our silly little intros too which formed a small story for this set, join the CTC community server linked below! There's even more puzzles made by my co-authors, Jovi, Mender, Freddie and Walker (that's right, the team changed up a bit now!!) CTC community: https://discord.gg/BbN89j5

Rules for all puzzles: Shade some empty cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. No complete loop of cells may be unshaded (including 2x2s). An arrow indicates the only direction in which one could begin a path to the star without going through a shaded cell or backtracking

Puzzle 1 - Classic Guide Arrow Solve on Puzz.Link


Puzzle 2 - SUPERSIZED Guide Arrow Solve on Puzz.Link




Puzzle 3 - Guide Arrow (Aqre)

There may not exist a run of more than three consecutive unshaded cells horizontally or vertically anywhere in the grid Solve on Penpa+

Puzzle 4 - Guide Arrow (Double)

Shade dominoes of cells (that still cannot touch orthogonally) rather than single cells Solve on Penpa+


Puzzle 5 - Guide Arrow (Uso-One)

Exactly one arrow clue in each region is incorrect (that is, facing the wrong direction) Solve on Penpa+
