Supersquish: Exterior Motives
(Published on 27. June 2026, 10:10 by ThePedallingPianist)
Contributing 2 puzzles to this was an honour and a pleasure, but the real heroes are:
• ViKingPrime (1 puzzle) for working so hard to collate the whole pack;
• Justin V (3 puzzles) for extensive testing;
• Marty Sears (3 puzzles) for extensive testing;
• Senny K (1 puzzle).
SUPERSQUISH: Fill each grid with the digits 1-9 so that digits don't repeat in any row, column, or any of the five coloured 3x3 boxes. Each puzzle will have an additional clue type outside the grid - discover these as you go along.
Solution code: Top row of the final grid, from left to right

I am happy to contribute 1 puzzle to this amazing pack, there were a couple of puzzles I found very hard but also very rewarding, great setting everyone :-)

I loved doing these puzzles. I spent the same amount of time on Balance as the other puzzles combined, it certainly brought balance to the set.

You guys are brilliant - extraordinary puzzles, eight of which I solved in reasonable time and two of which stretched me more than I expected. One I am still thinking through. I think the variety of these and the unfamiliarity of the setup and at least one ruleset pushed this to the harder side for me. But well worth the fight. How can a 5x5 grid offer so many possibilities? Breathtaking achievement.
