Hi!

I hope all is well, and hope you'll find some time spend some time with your close ones this week. But in case you need some extra excitement during family visits, here are last week's puzzles! The weekend ones were especially tough ones, so if you missed them, or want to try again, that should keep you going for a while! The listed numbers are: Top 1% / 10% / 50% solve times, and % of completions without mistakes/hints, and % of completion without hints.

And if your hunt for excitement is still not sated, why not check out the Thinky Awards nominees for some ideas? Yours truly is also nominated in two categories! It's absolutely amazing to see Clues by Sam listed among such fantastic games! Have a look for yourself: https://thinkygames.com/events/awards/

Not enough? I have more! Here's a really fun word game I leaned about recently: The Daily Spell. It's made by Celia, who has also contributed to Clues by Sam with some really useful features, like the clue inspection tool. Play The Daily Spell here: https://www.the-daily-spell.com/

I'm sure all this will keep you entertained for a while. But still, here's one more: In case you didn't know, I've also made some ad free mobile games. For example, check out Bee Sort by Sam, available on both iOS and Android:

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fi.adartis.honey

I wish you the best holidays!
