Set out to make Volume 90 twice as special as Volume 45, but it turns out that’s a pretty high bar. So I adjusted expectations to “similarly special, if not slightly more so” and frankly I think I nailed it.
Really liked Smokestack; thank you! I needed the four-cell hint to get started - still learning how to pay closer attention.
“Orthogonally adjacent cells cannot contain consecutive digits” - Working with this constraint reminded me of many years ago, as a child, learning various card games of Solitaire from my grandparents. Watching for the consecutives today was similar to those long-ago gentle reminders of “not there”, while someone waited patiently while I worked out why not.

This was a really cool set!
Centerpiece - 05:30 - Quite fun and smooth flow.
Bubble Wrap - 10:08 - Took a bit to break-in, but caught on and finished well!
Repetition - 10:14 - Buh… this one just clicked for me, found all the key points fast!
Smokestack - 06:59 - Another puzzle that just clicked, loved it! Wonderful flow.
El Paso - 17:44 - Made it through without hints! Really cool puzzle, loved the flow.
No hints needed for me this time, I think I'm getting better! 😄 Loved this set.
