My first Nikoli puzzle book was Pencil Puzzle Yajilin 1, back in 2006 when the Pencil Puzzle series was available. Yajilin has always been a special puzzle type for me. It marks the beginning of that unscratchable itch that I think most puzzlers have, to relentlessly explore new puzzle types and variations and to engage with problems for which no well-trodden inventory of techniques already exists. I’m happy to return from my break with a Yajilin variation on a new tiling [33434; 3 2 6 2 ; 3446; 6 3 ].
