Ahh, beautifull!
It must be 9 years for me now, I still remember solving my first puzzles here while avoiding my studies
I hope this site will continue to exist for many decades

Nice puzzle! I didn't play this genre before. And welcome, I hope you will make many more nice puzzles.

Nice puzzle, thanks Nyancharov. I didn't do Myopia's in quite a while, refreshing that you re-introduce me to it.
What a beautiful and clever design! One of my favourite Masyu's, even though it's an oldie.

This puzzle is really giving me a hard time... Sure, GxN = .N is a nice way to start, but after that it becomes wildly complex in my opinion.

Ooph, tough indeed.
@rob, I had the same strategy, A+R seems the most informative sum, given that it appears twice with different outcomes. With any given A+R combination, you can deduce O, L and the sum of S+C. In retrospect we had to start from high to low I guess, but there wasn't really any way to tell. I considered other strategies (W, C and P are not 0, W+C<10, P>3, D is an even number) but found them not very usefull. If anyone had a better strategy I would be very interested to know.

@brecher92, Sure these alphametics require brute force I guess, but it also requires logic to determine where to start, which combinations to try, in my opinion. With 10 different characters there are too many options to brute-force them all, and some options are more informative than others.
Huh, the third time I solved it quickly without any trouble. Strange, still no clue what my problem was the first two attempts.

This one's giving me a hard time! I keep ending up with obviously wrong solutions, so I must be making a false assumption somewhere... Still trying to find out what I do wrong.

Beautifull puzzle, perfectly solvable without guessing, but still a tough nut to crack.
Ah, that sounds like a plan indeed, maybe I'll also try printing it and solving it with pencil. For these kinds of puzzles it would be nice to include the option to fill in in small print which numbers are still possible for a given cell.

Oof, this one is so hard! I think I started all over again already three times, but everytime I end up making some mistakes, and I can't backtrack to see my error.
Hmm, good point, I went back to resolve as well, and it is indeed mainly the first half that is very easy, after that I don't see yet how to proceed without bifurcation. Then again, I usually bifurcate in Fences, and the positions which are very usefull to bifurcate are rather obvious in this one in my opinion, but that might have been a matter of intuition or luck.
Nice puzzle, but I don't understand why it got three stars. It only cost me a few minutes.
