Thanks @ZacharyTalis for feedback on the finishing touches. **2024-03-09** @Seren made a brilliant puzzle using just walls and a question mark. Thank you! **2024-03-10** An edge case of premature "mice-on-win" found by @AnuragSahay was fixed. **2024-03-11** A ´´hex´´ puzzle by @ZacharyTalis was added and a loopy edge case found by @CasualJoe was fixed. Thank you! **2024-03-12** A second edge case of premature "mice-on-win" found by @ZacharyTalis was corrected - thank you. **2024-03-13** @ZacharyTalis kindly updated the panels to include walls and numbers, while preserving the [modern format|../panels#modern] - good work! **2024-03-13** A ´´full´´ puzzle by @PinkHoodie was created - thank you! **2024-03-18** A classic [Touching Tails] by @PinkHoodie was added - thank you! **2024-03-20** Two additional classics by @PinkHoodie, around the theme "Neighbours", for Enigmarch. **2024-03-23** A classic by @AnuragSahay was added - thank you! **2024-04-01** A bug in the ´´hex´´ grid reported by @AnuragSahay was corrected (cause: numeric rounding error) **2024-10-20** :::puzzletters @ZacharyTalis sent a new [Touching Tails] puzzle (and detected a visual bug, meanwhile corrected; cause: name change in underlying variable). Thanks @Seren for checking the puzzle for non-uniquenesses. **2024-10-25** :::puzzletters @ZacharyTalis sent [Touching Tails] puzzle number 11, probably the trickiest in the genre **2024-10-25** PinkHoodie was the first to explore the new ´´cloterrilines-equal´´ variant, by making a [Touching Tails] puzzle!
