Oof, I made a difficult one here... Hope you all enjoyed it.. Be honest: How long did it take you to figure out what it was?
If you liked this puzzle, I have a very similar color-one as well uploaded recently. Have a great week!

He's clearly cheating or outright lying. Going by it's comment history is clear to see it. Some are way to big to really believe it.

Don't be so sure. Speed increases with practice.

msat (26 January 2026, 4:49) complain

Well, I'm one of the slower ones, but I didn't find it particularly difficult (I'm just slow.) Wonderful picture, and I look forward to the colour one, unless it's bigger...

Even better, maybe it was just me and my tired brain... :-)

35:12. I never rush and always enjoy a nice challenge, so it was quite good. Didn't knew the image until the end and was very rewarding!

20:09 for me, but I'm never a very fast solver. It was realizing how much of the leftmost and rightmost columns couldn't be filled in without messing up the columns next to them that finally got me going.

Great tactic, will try that out next time. It was hard to do for me without solving after knowing what it looks like haha

I took my time while doing other physical things so I don't count. I did do it without Xs (which takes longer, but extends the enjoyment).

I really appreciated this clue, thank you

andy11 (26 January 2026, 2:13) complain

23.25, found it difficult. Good end result

bs11 (26 January 2026, 3:11) complain

wow!! its really really hard

3strikesurout (26 January 2026, 4:27) complain

This is amazing, Nonoglawm! I didn't figure out what it was until I was done with it! I got it without placing X's though!

Thank you! That's what I was suspecting... :-)

41:47 but I've just woke up from nightmare and had to clam myself

I'm hoping clamming yourself was a great relief from your nightmare. D:)

Thank you so much for your comment, it really means a lot to me.

A Vasarely picture?

wisekaren (26 January 2026, 21:18) complain

I think it's great! I don't like to time myself, but it didn't take me too long. I used Xs.

Sorry, my comment was meant to ask how long in relation to your total time it took you to figure out what the image was showing. Not meant as "post your times". But It was interesting nonetheless to see everyone's time and tactics. :-)

wisekaren (27 January 2026, 14:59) complain

Oh! I don't remember at what point I first realized what it was, but I actually kind of like it when I have no idea until that last pixel pops into place!

Alicia_Butcher_Ehrhardt (26 January 2026, 23:32) complain

Tricky without Xs.
