      [Puzzle] A Familiar Design – 02 November 2020

      Welcome back to the first puzzle in a new set of puzzles, which will run from now through December. Just like before, there will be one puzzle published each Monday, with a hint released the following week, and the solution the week after that.

      If last week’s meta puzzle is still causing you problems, a hint for it has been released here. You still have one more week to solve it.

      This week’s puzzle is A Familiar Design. As always, once you find the solution, enter it into the form below.

        [Meta] My First Meta – 26 October 2020

        A new hint is also available for last week’s Not Like the Other. It’s not too late to get some points from that puzzle.

These will not be connected to the current puzzles in any way and will feature a whole new leaderboard, so it will be a great chance to start solving if you haven’t wanted to jump in yet.
