Please share your comments on how you prefer to solve Pentominous puzzles and if you could make this work in Penpa. We will probably document all of these methods when we formalize the user experience for this style and for Fillomino.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GMPuzzles - 2021\/03\/29 - Pentominous by Grant Fikes\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hRjTzir5two?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GMPuzzles - 2021\/03\/30 - Pentominous by Serkan Y\u00fcrekli\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6d49nqDorc8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GMPuzzles - 2021\/03\/31 - Pentominous by Ashish Kumar\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mpbyZU0olQ0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GMPuzzles - 2021\/04\/01 - Pentominous by Elyot Grant\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KpRdGvyBmYc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GMPuzzles - 2021\/04\/02 - Pentominous (Borders) by Jonas Gleim\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nRtNNMTs_kE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GMPuzzles - 2021\/04\/03 - Pentominous by JinHoo Ahn\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ILSqM9H1gs4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This upcoming week will feature Statue Park puzzles and will also include a large variation as a Sunday Stumper.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there are still some minor debugging and optimization steps happening with the fave\/solve tracker after the most recent update, including trying to lengthen the time the login is stored.
