Here are some custom maps I made in Wargroove. All of these were made on Switch. The maps are listed from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom. If you like the maps, please rate them in-game to help others find them.
You can find solutions to the puzzles on my YouTube channel, but I encourage you to try to solve them first.
Sparrow Bombinoes
While playing around with Sparrow Bombs, I realized that if I placed them in a line, alternating between enemy and allied bombs, I could detonate them all with a single move, similar to knocking down dominoes. I decided to develop that idea into a puzzle. Players must fill in gaps between bombs, then start the chain reaction. To prevent people from simply destroying a bomb near the end of the chain and thereby blowing up the subsequent bombs, I used an event to make the enemy bombs invincible when the puzzle starts. To make them vulnerable, the player must pull a lever, after which they can't move any units (except to start the detonation).
Penny Pinching
How well do you understand Nuru's groove? Test your knowledge by playing this puzzle, which is one of my favorites.
Gone with the Wind
After making two very big puzzles, I decided to make a nice small one (at least in comparison). I hope the solution isn't too obvious.

Thanks to Armagon for his nice comments.
Seven Sigrids
I've seen a few maps that are designed such that the map's preview is a recognizable image. While the "preview art" was well done, the levels weren't very fun to play. I decided to try creating a level that had a nice-looking preview while still being playable. Although the very limited color palette in the map editor prevented me from getting Sigrid's colors just right, I think the end result looks pretty good. In terms of gameplay, I decided to break the puzzle into multiple sub-puzzles due to the huge size of the map. The player must kill Loaded Thieves to gain money in the sub-puzzles, then spend the money in the final sub-puzzle. To make the map more cohesive, I set up events such that all the allied Sigrids share a groove meter. This forces the player to think about where to use Sigrid's groove and in which order to tackle the sub-puzzles.
Each type of terrain has a certain color in the preview. Some tiles, such as plains and carpet, change color depending on the biome. In addition, units and properties have nine possible colors (eight colors for the different teams, plus another color for neutral). However, there is a limit of 256 units and properties, so I couldn't use those nine colors very much.
In order to make the preview image look right, I didn't put units on the map normally. Instead, I spawned them and set their HP using events.

The Long Way Around
My most elaborate puzzle yet. Commanders from every faction must work together to defeat Elodie. This puzzle took a long time to make due to its size. There were a lot of unintended solutions that I had to get rid of.
After posting this puzzle, I realized that the game has a built-in puzzle with almost exactly the same name (The Long Way Round). Oops! That was unintentional.

Freezer Fun: A Wargroove Quiz Game
A trivia game based on Furnace Fun in Banjo-Kazooie. Questions are selected at random from a pool of 100 questions in five categories:
Unit/gameplay trivia
Story/character trivia
Voices
Songs
Pictures
Did you know that you can plug a USB keyboard into the Switch and use it to enter text in prompts? Fortunately, I read about this feature before I got very far into making this level. Otherwise, the text entry would have taken eons.

This map is now my second featured map! Thanks again to Armagon.
Go Fish
This puzzle will test your knowledge of a gameplay mechanic that I suspect very few people have thought about.

The Ides of March
This puzzle is probably the hardest I've made. It's densely packed and provides lots of options, but if I did it right, there should only be one solution. Whereas my other maps evolved from gameplay ideas, this one started with a story idea. I think it turned out nicely.

Connect Four
As the title suggests, line up four wagons to win. I was having fun playing around in the event editor and wanted to recreate a classic game. Some other games I thought of (like tic-tac-toe) had already been done, so I decided to do this one.

Crossing the Rubicon
My first puzzle map. It's probably my easiest, but it should still provide a good challenge.

Super Sedge: The Forbidden Fortress
My first map and still one of my favorites. Use Sedge's powered-up groove to defeat the otherwise overwhelming enemy force.
