Wow, what a jump! I feel like a boss monster in a video game, desperately hanging on against an unrelenting assault O_o.

"But I'm not defeated yet!"

Congrats, Darklady!

(EDIT: Though the full Club 19 list is different still, with both my and Darklady's times being better, and Jankonyex also being in Club 19. Foilman, is there a way to see when that happened? I don't recall ever improving my own time here.)

Thanks! ^_^

(I actually made it in a couple weeks ago, but didn't mention it at the time, which is where that faster time comes from.)

I've been doing well this past month or two, surprising myself－it feels like I've finally gotten the hang of all the different types, though the sparse ones still give me the most trouble. I'm a lot better at seeing the patterns in them now. And then yesterday I had a real good day that also happened to coincide with the end of a week's absence, so I got a  lot of good times.

For bookkeeping purposes: Updated list from full Club 19 list. I don't know when my time improved (though this history suggests it might have been in March 2022) or when Jankonyex got his sub-20 time (also congrats, by the way!).

According to the full Club 19 list, apparently a bunch of times improved again without me noticing. Based on this history, mine improved in December 2023, and maybe that's also when Lisast got their sub-20 (congrats!). Also congrats to Darklady for the improved time!

I might be on track for another sub-20 time this week, but it'd require getting easier puzzle types over the weekend. I'm pretty confident with hexagons and those that feel similar (except maybe the pointy hexagons like Tuesday's), but I need to get lucky with the layouts to get good weekly times, and my error rate still leaves much to be desired...

With today's 'easy' puzzle, I *feel* like I belong here

Realistically, I'm just hoping to make Club29 sometime soon!

At the moment, I'm looking at Club 29. These variants are, however, a bit odd and difficult
