My favourite with a big big margin are 12*12 puzzles.
Seccond place comes the killer puzzles.

Fridays 10 x 10 is my fave by a mile. Although it does seem to be a subscriber only more often than not I still look forward to the weeks I get to do them. I like the killers each day as well as Saturday's 8 x 8 (med & hard) & Sundays 8 x 8 medium.

Not a puzzle or pattern I was looking forward to, just a pleasant surprise: Today's difficult 9x9 has a nice "hand-crafted" feel to it, with a series of really neat inferences to be made (Spoiler warning: Hint in the next paragraph )

Hint It's turns out to be a good idea to focus on the placement of one number at a time in the puzzle, especially vertically, and then go on to another number.

Yeah I was actually wondering if it was a new pattern that Patrick was testing out because so much of the logic felt repeatable but new at the same time, which is what I think is true of the best patterns.

I could keep it as a pattern.

If hand-crafted, I never would have done the 4 singles in the bottom right though.

The puzzle for reference:

"If hand-crafted, I never would have done the 4 singles in the bottom right though."

You are right, Patrick. The four boxes can be replaced by one with 19+.
But, shure, that makes it way more difficult!

I want to adding a fourth puzzle to my list.

It is the Sat med 8 x 8. For me, it is one of those relaxing puzzles.

On Tuesdays I like the 8x8 difficult puzzle (with bitwise OR) and the extra puzzle, which is also 8x8. Can't pinpoint exactly what's so enticing about the latter; probably something about the degree of difficulty and the "flow" it has to it.

For instance, today's 8x8 difficult and extra puzzles are both grrreat

I know I'm repeating myself (from 22 Oct last year, to be specific) but today's 8x8 difficult (with bitwise OR) and extra puzzles puzzles are just breathtaking
Thank God (and Patrick) it's Tuesday

[bram]

This is becoming surreal now How are today's difficult 6x6 and medium 8x8 also that entertaining?
The former often frustrates me, but on this Super Tuesday I experienced the Exalted State of Flow throughout the puzzle
It felt like I was Riding a Wave all the way to the solution (even though I'm a bit sleep-deprived at the moment, but maybe that helps in some weird way)
