I first got into puzzles by doing them. Simple! I liked Tatami a lot when I was 7, and I knew that Sudoku #63 had a weird puzzle called Tredoku. I solved Tredoku so easily that I thought there shouldn't be such puzzle.
I first thought of Mazeodoku when I was 9. I liked mazes and thought of a puzzle. This was my only puzzle for a long time, knowing that Weirdmix came out in 2014, very recently. I liked developing puzzles, making Sum Square a few days after Weirdmix. I then remembered about Sudoku Variants. I thought of Weirdmix Sudoku by having a sudoku with inequalities, signs and differences. How weird! I then made all of my puzzles up to Colour Maze very easily. The Ten Jukis is revealed in Issue 2 of A5 Puzzles. Spirnum is a rare, cool spiral-ish puzzle.
