This question is meant to serve as a trouble-free gallery of puzzles deemed noteworthy by anyone.

Whoever wants to contribute, feel free to post a minimalistic answer, something like the following, and add comments that link to any puzzles for whatever reasons.

Puzzle gallery comments from [you]

(Nobody else comment here, please, instead post your own Puzzle gallery comments from [you] answer like this.)

These answers are expected to remain unedited once posted.   Rather, this gallery is meant to function purely through comments under such posts.

  • Revisions, being mere additions and deletions of comments, will not interrupt Meta Puzzling’s list of active questions.

  • Over-generosity will be tucked away automatically by “show _ more comments.”

  • Each answer is expected to have comments only from its poster. If a poster becomes frustrated by interloping comments, they can delete the existing post and start a new answer with just their own comments.

  • The resulting gallery is self-curated, post by poster, and requires no consensus or bickering.

  • We can find out about otherwise-overlooked puzzles from users whose interests overlap.

  • Self-promotion is possible without a sense of guilt or a pretense of objectivity.

  • (Incidental benefit: Any poster can test-format comments ultimately meant elsewhere, as nobody will be notified of temporary comments under a poster’s own post here.)

Should we have a meta-sorted list of puzzles here on Meta?
Should we implement an automated way of highlighting quality content?

  • $\begingroup$ I quite like this idea, but I feel it may get messy, if many answer. And also, what is the purpose of this? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ The messier the merrier! (Lack of central control might be worthwhile just for averting a choke point.) With minimal disruption of the active-question list, this can serve as a low-profile resource, and outlet, for those who are interested. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Has this been discussed anywhere on meta before? If not, it might be helpful/necessary, both to make sure it's something people want, and to give people space & time to provide feedback on how it will work. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Aw, @Emrakul, I was enthusiastic about your comment when all it asked was "Has this been discussed anywhere on meta before?," which is quite an interesting question over all SE sites (I didn't find any evidence of it here or on Meta SE.) But if people don't like this approach, all they have to do is ignore it. This is meant to be unobtrusively voluntary and carry no official weight. Any constructive ideas can well be shared in these comments to the question post, or added to the question post itself, or - better yet - can be demonstrated by example. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Missed that post in February, but like the idea. Essentially an open, self-controlled favorites list. Until something like this (or better) is provided by the SE, I throw my hat in the ring and will start using it. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you for jumping in, @BmyGuest! (I ^voted and canceled because, at least for now, this might work best unjudged.) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Rainbow Road Rabbit Hole: Even though I can't understand how this mega puzzle is solved, I find that concept of adding one puzzle into another very intriguing. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Find the letters that complete these five patterns: This is 'the best' pattern puzzle I have ever seen. The answer feels correct when you find it. It even that aw-moment. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ REJBÄS - an unfinished flat-pack puzzle: Simply one of my favorite puzzles as far as style and presentation is concerned. Without any direct referenecs, everybody knows what inspired this puzzle design. The puzzle itself is not bad, but neither is it Alconja's best. That honor goes to Rube-Wordberg-Machine . $\endgroup$
