On the subject of renaming the page: in general, the Wiki style is to use [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(plurals) singular titles], so we have [[joseki]] and not [[josekis]]. That is presumably why Eric chose the singular. But I agree that [[puzzles]] and [[worst move puzzles]] are an exception, since the page is about a list of puzzles, not about the concept of a puzzle.

Here's another relatively easy one: Red to play the unique losing move.

I like this slightly less than puzzle 3 because there's an imbalance between red and blue stones; on the other hand, it's slightly more elegant than puzzle 3 because it uses fewer stones overall. The answer is basically the same as puzzle 3, so I think one should not have both. Selinger (talk) 01:49, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Also, for the record, here is the 7x7 puzzle that Hexanna added and then removed. It is pretty hard, but I still enjoyed thinking about it. I would be in favor of re-adding it to the page, perhaps just indicating that it is a harder puzzle.
