Hello again,
these are some of the solutions (first puzzle type is the intended solution):
1. "Coral" ("Snake" and "Radar" - the latter is also known as "Islands" - are correct, too)
2. "Stations" / "Platforms", "Akari" / "Light bulbs"
3. "Cave" / "Corral" or "Kuromasu", ("Fillomino" has several solutions, "8 winds" is a variant)
4. "Masyu"
5. "Nurikabe" (I think this puzzle type was called "Islands" as well, at least some time ago), "Kuromasu"
6. "Tapa" (I did not accept "Minesweeper" because the solution for that one is not unique unless the number of mines is given somewhere near the grid)
7. "Galaxies" / "Tentai show" (I feel that "Tents" is not a valid solution because the symbols in that puzzle types are trees, not just circles. Neither did I accept "Triomino dissection" - using only L-Triominos - because I did not consider it a basic puzzle type)
8. "Doors" (I heard the name "Open Office in this year's WPC for the first time), "Akari" works again
9. "Fillomino" or just "Latin Square" (I also accepted "Sudoku")
10. "Lighthouses" or a very simple "Cave"
11. "Double block" ("Difference skyscrapers" is a variant)
12. "Hakyuu" / "Seismic" / "Ripple Effect" ("Country Road" was submitted, but if I understand the rules correctly, the puzzle type has either no solution at all or several ones, depending on the version of this puzzle type)
13. "Arukone" / "Numberlink", once again there are several "Fillomino" solutions
14. "Minesweeper", but not "Tapa"
15. "Heyawake", "Country Road"
16. "Four Winds", "Walls" (more than one solution both for "Fillomino" and "Open Office")
17. "Shikaku" (I also accepted "Rectangles")
18. "Second turn" (or similar names), "Yin and Yang" / "Black and White"
19. "Skyscrapers"
20. "Snake"
I rejected some solutions that were submitted because I felt they were either not basic puzzle types or the layout was unusual. For instance, I would expect for Pentomino puzzles that the pentomino set that must be used is shown somewhere near the grid (similar for Battleships).
If you have any claims on your solutions, please send me an Email or a Forum message (please add a reference link if possible - there were a couple of puzzle types that I could not find).
