Rewrote a significant portion of Sudoku thanks to feedback from @JulieMontoya20. The puzzles are a lot easier, now, but should at least be doable!
Added Word Ladder. It's a little bit slow. Hopefully I can find a way to speed that up. Note : Due to the way I've rewritten the Random Words code, (so the Word Ladder worked!) Yesterday's Solutions will not work properly for today or tomorrow. Views 58, Upvotes 10

Sudoku
Game

Fill in the grid such that no row or column contain duplicates of the numbers 1 through 9.
In addition, each of the nine bordered 3x3 miniature grids should also contain the numbers 1 through 9. Views 35, Upvotes 10

Finally happy with the Find a Way maze generation. The mazes aren't the "best" mazes in the world, but are at least now a bit better than a straight vertical line!
Added Sudoku. Since Sudoku is fairly complex to generate, rather than being wholly generated by the script, I've opted to pre-generate 2000 number grid layouts, which then get numbers plucked from them to give a final puzzle. Views 27, Upvotes 6

Solutions
Blog
16th September 2018
Added a "Yesterday's Solutions" option to the bottom of the site. Click to switch between viewing today's puzzles or yesterday's solutions.
The solutions "should" be functioning properly, but may occasionally glitch if I tweak too much of the underlying ProcGen code for the puzzles. Updated Number Target to remove instances where it would do "n x 1", which resulted in uninteresting maths! Updated Crossed to remove some of the 8-letter word's letters. Added Find a Way...

Finally got v1 of the main website up and running.
Simple drop down menu items and a puzzle page. Nothing too fancy, just enough that you can select from the growing collection of puzzles. Views 59, Upvotes 12

Switched to using a TTF font instead of PHP's default rubbish font.

Game Tweaks

13th September 2018
Tweaked Doodle to draw less "squiggly" and more "scrawl-like".
Tweaked Target to be less random, and instead do a bit of maths to set the target, so that all targets are at least possible. Views 46, Upvotes 10

...is the apparent name for the foldable booklet of puzzles.
Today I need to decide if I'm going to continue to work on FoldAPuz, or take the time to work on more JNKPlat levels. Or, perhaps I should work on both of them!?! Views 125, Upvotes 22

The Very Beginning
Blog
3rd September 2018
Initial conception, and first test of printed foldable layout.
The layout seems workable, and if I continue to make the puzzles in that aspect ratio it should be fairly functional as a pocketsized booklet. Left the idea to ferment for a week!! Views 36, Upvotes 9

Foldapuz - The Start
Blog
3rd September 2018
Over on my site Socoder.net, we have a daily poll, and each day it gives you something to vote on, then the next day you get points based on whether you voted for the winning item on the poll.
It's been there for many many years, now, and I'm starting to get a little sick of the sight of the bloomin' thing, but what could I possibly replace it with? The current leading idea is a doodle box, where the players are given a start point and a few colours, and the best art wins. But that ... Views 36, Upvotes 14
