GAPP stands for Genuinely Approachable Pencil Puzzles, and if this is your first foray into the field then maybe this collection will be the best starting point! I made a lot of puzzles in very popular genres this time, was busy with end-of-year commitments so I stuck to what I do best. If you'd like to solve these as they come out, you can join the CTC discord linked below, where you'll get a GAPP every day from myself, Mender, Freddie, Walker and Lava
