In 2023, WCPN celebrates its 10th anniversary! We would like to celebrate this milestone with a puzzle competition for our members. During the winter holidays (December 22 to 31), WCPN and ORTEC are organizing an online puzzle competition in honor of our 10-year anniversary. Enjoy a week of beautiful logic puzzles and sudokus.

Extended puzzle bliss: Puzzles and Sudokus mixed together

For our anniversary, we're hosting an extra-long competition lasting 4 hours, featuring a mix of puzzles and sudokus.

More information about the competition is available on the instructions page of the anniversary competition.
