So, in Texas, the University Interscholastic League (UIL) is a pretty big thing in schools. UIL handles all manner of competition from sports (like football or baseball), to band (such as marching band or choir), to theatre (in the form of One Act Play, though iirc, they also had musicals), to debate, but my favourite thing they did was the academic competitions, where a bunch of schools would meet up to compete in various tasks. 1/

So, if you, like me, enjoy picross, I have a fun little twist on it you may enjoy. Grab a normal picross puzzle...and start by filling the whole thing in. All of it. Then, try to, based on the clues for where the filled in blocks are supposed to be, to remove blocks until you finish the puzzle. It's tricky, and I'm not sure every puzzle can be completed this way, but why not give it a shot?
