This week we are sharing easy sample puzzles from our ebook The Puzzlemasters’ Workshop which showcases six authors exploring new puzzle styles or variations with 8-10 challenges in each section. Today’s post is Mirror Universe.<\/i><\/p>\n

\"Mirror<\/p>\n

PDF<\/a><\/p>\n

or solve online<\/a> (using our beta test of Penpa-Edit tools; use tab to alternate between an edge mode, a line mode, and a shading mode.)<\/p>\n

Theme:<\/b> Circle<\/p>\n

Background:<\/b> Variation of the region division puzzle Spiral Galaxies<\/a>, with new clues indicating galaxies with mirror symmetry. This variation was created by Carl Worth.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Divide the grid along the indicated lines into connected regions \u2013 \u201cgalaxies\u201d \u2013 so that every cell is part of one galaxy and every galaxy has one circle clue inside it. If the galaxy contains a plain circle without any lines, the galaxy must be rotationally symmetric with that circle being the center of rotational symmetry. If the galaxy contains a circle with a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, the galaxy must have mirror symmetry when reflecting across the line given in the circle.<\/p>\n

Example by Carl Worth:<\/b><\/p>\n
