Nurikabe puzzles by Dr Gareth Moore. Play free Nurikabe puzzles: Nurikabe puzzles are fun Japanese logic puzzles where the aim is to shade in certain empty squares to create a set of 'islands' of the given sizes. The rules need to be read carefully to start with, but once you are familiar with them they are very rewarding and due to their visual nature can be particularly intuitive to solve. How to solve Nurikabe puzzles In a Nurikabe puzzle you start with a mostly-empty grid that contains some numbered squares. Shade in some squares so that every given number in the puzzle remains as part of a continuous unshaded area of the stated number of squares. There must be exactly one number per unshaded area (so no unshaded areas without numbers, and no unshaded areas with more than one number).
A very important second rule is that shaded squares cannot form any solid 2x2 (or larger) areas. And finally a third important rule: all the shaded squares must form one single continuous area. Other types of puzzle Keywords External links.
Kenken. Recreational math. Nikoli. Nikoli is also a village on the island of Lefkada Nikoli (ニコリ, nikori) Co., Ltd. is a Japanese publisher that specializes in games and, especially, logic puzzles. Nikoli is also the nickname of a quarterly magazine (whose full name is Puzzle Communication Nikoli) issued by the company. Nikoli became prominent worldwide with the popularity of Sudoku. The name "Nikoli" comes from the racehorse who won the Irish 2,000 Guineas in 1980; the president of Nikoli, Maki Kaji, is fond of horse-racing and betting. [citation needed] Nikoli's claim to fame is its vast library of "culture independent" puzzles.
Nikoli's Sudoku, the most popular logic problem in Japan,[1] was popularized in the English-speaking world in 2005, although it was originally an American puzzle, since Dell Magazines had created it and distributed it for years.[2] The magazine has invented several new genres of puzzles, and introduced several new games to Japan.

Introduction This page contains a collection of small computer programs which implement one-player puzzle games. All of them run natively on Unix (GTK), on Windows, and on Mac OS X. They can also be played on the web, as Java or Javascript applets.
I wrote this collection because I thought there should be more small desktop toys available: little games you can pop up in a window and play for two or three minutes while you take a break from whatever else you were doing. And I was also annoyed that every time I found a good game on (say) Unix, it wasn't available the next time I was sitting at a Windows machine, or vice versa; so I arranged that everything in my personal puzzle collection will happily run on both those platforms and more. When I find (or perhaps invent) further puzzle games that I like, they'll be added to this collection and will immediately be available on both platforms.
