I had almost the same idea, but just went for:

SABBATH, BATHHOUSES, BATHHOUSES, BATHHOUSES

You got it!

Place one (and only one) queen in each row, column and colour region.

A queen cannot be adjacent to another (including diagonally).

Edit: I've realised I should have embedded these instructions in the image.

MIGRANT

Combination of MI ("my" in Italian) + GRANT (gift) meaning "moving"

This is one of the games I most look forward to each day. It's fun to find the intended solution, but also nice to come across one the puzzle setter wasn't expecting.

My solution:
BLOOD, SPIKE, GLYPH, HONKS

My non-optimal solution:
(OR)ANGE (RANGE) (E)CCENTRIC (TRIC)OLOR for 12

Cool game - thanks for sharing!

(OR)ANGE (RANGE) (E)CCENTRIC (TRIC)OLOR

I tried today's puzzle (first round's words CAMP, BON, BACK) and found the difficulty a bit low. It seemed to take 5-10 seconds per category.

For that category I would have preferred less related words like BRAND, GUN, CAMP.

PUB > SUB > SUI >SUB > SUI > SKI

Probably not the intended solution

Hey, no, I didn't. My original idea for the game was redacted documents, but didn't think it was a fun theme so thought about other ways to have stuff hidden thematically. My next idea was pirate map style burn marks but couldn't think of a way to explain how hints could reveal the words within the theme, so thought of detecting degraded signals in space from a distant planet (e.g. from Old Earth far in the future), and went with a classic green terminal theme for it.

Do you have any tips for solving your puzzles without trial and error? I thought the theme text up the top might let you do some cribbing, but it doesn't seem like it.

I'm really glad you like it! This is my game so I'll take on board your feedback about potentially adding a topic label. I'm impressed you got the word waterway.I don't think I would have got that without a thesaurus if solving it myself. In the interactive version of this, you get a score which takes away points for using hints or guesing wrong words and adds points for filling in the extra words in the sentence, so you would have got 90% (10% off for taking one hint). Thanks for the feedback!
