PuzzGrid - I posted this at MetaFilter too but I know there are some puzzle-y people here who might enjoy it. It's a neat little game of grouping and forming associations. →[More:]The rules are explained briefly when you start a game, but there were more detailed explanations in the MeFi thread. Numbers 357 and 368 are pretty good ones to get started, from among the more recent ones. Let us know if you make a new one!

I took a whack at these yesterday or the day before, including yours, Wolfdog... and I discovered that I am TERRIBLE at this style of puzzle. It was humbling!

AHA, but thank you for posting this here, because I went back and I AM AWESOME (at the three that I've done so far, including your Grid 380). I guess my brain needed a chance to get around the ideas at play.

Oh, great! It's always nice to discover that YOU ARE AWESOME.

Dude, having tried a few more puzzles, it is YOU who have the AWESOME. Your puzzles are hard and cleverly tricky, but also have a very intuitive sense to them, so they play out beautifully. Also, you seem to have mastered the tricky art of keywords.

I solved the wolfdog grid. Failed horribly on a different one.

This is fun. Though it has brought home again what an idiot I am about pop culture.
