IN PURSUIT OF PUZZLES

Rows Garden #6

Time for another Rows Garden!

A reminder for online solvers: the groups of ‘rose blooms’ are not clued in order; you’ll need to use the row answers to figure out where to plant each bloom.

If you prefer solving on paper, pdfs of both regular (bloom categories clued in the order in which they appear in the garden) and thorny versions (blooms clued out of order) are available for download below.

As always, comments are welcome.

[Post-posting note: my thanks to Mike Knobler for suggesting an improved clue for one of the row entries!]

    This was excellent! The clues for H1, H2, I1 and K2 are terrific. I still have a big problem with the solving interface. It really should gray out blooms that have been put in the grid. I think I mentioned that my son is working on a Rows Garden solving app; I’m hoping it makes the online solving experience better.

    Thanks. I really enjoyed solving this (and eventually did). I agree with Jeff about H1, I1, and K2. F2 clue was challenging in that it was misleadingly specific. Maybe “Constantly improving” would be preferable (although perhaps that would be too easy).
