Sorry but that was a lot of effort for a disappointing picture

Maybe I know the trick, but this doesn't seem difficult at all

Super-stylized pictures are less rewarding when you finish them, but it's still nice.

Tricky for a small one, but I see the picture
wentelteefje (30 July 2016, 1:04) complain
I think it's a very beautiful picture, and very easy to see.
Guest: Jon (11 August 2016, 17:59) complain
That was the most difficult puzzle that I've solved to date.

Had to learn a couple new tricks to do it.
Ruruskadoo (13 August 2016, 15:06) complain
I like the picture. It was more tricky than you'd expect for a picture this size, but you don't need to do anything special to solve it, just look carefully.
Corpore (17 September 2016, 17:46) complain
Really good picture for so small size
Guest: mauri (19 September 2016, 21:34) complain
really hard, i needed few hints, but the picture is worth it!

Very nice and challenging for 15x15. Thanks.
JayH (20 January 2017, 1:47) complain
This one has me stumped. I've already resorted to guessing once and I can't figure out what I'm missing.
Guest: Red (6 March 2017, 17:01) complain
Annoying. Hints and lucky guess.
Pic is nice, thou.
Guest: wudoku (11 April 2017, 21:40) complain
Excellent, the best small one. I admire how one can make so small so difficult.
Guest: yoo wat (2 May 2017, 2:11) complain
couldn't do without guessing

Anybody doing this without hints is lucky guessing.

I'm not anybody because I know the tricks.
Ellye (3 June 2023, 7:57) complain
I solved it without any guessing. I've started from the first line and following square after square found where it was possible to be the middle of the sequense of 5.
Decker (15 May 2017, 3:04) complain
Thank you for this, really hard for such small picture :)
Valaroma (24 May 2017, 18:19) complain
For those who have never sent a pic, you should know that nonograms.org automatically discards the puzzles that need guessing to be solved (it only takes a second for the computer to solve even the hardest pics) I think this is a perfect crossword for improving your hability, since it makes it necessary to think beyond the usual way to solve it. And I like the pic a lot ;)
Kilimango (30 May 2017, 3:14) complain
Keep on thinking and deducting. It is perfectly doable without hints or cheating. Happy to have solve my first 4-star puzzle
dzzytrll (28 July 2017, 18:04) complain
thank you for this!
Guest: Slee (5 September 2017, 23:14) complain
Delightfully difficult and most certainly solvable without guessing or clues. Really lovely picture, too. Ace work!
AwesomeNick94 (4 October 2017, 23:46) complain
That was just painful to try and solve.
Guest: meow (3 November 2017, 13:47) complain
Quite a challenge for such a small puzzle. I enjoyed it. It is solvable without hints.
Sheryl_Hill (14 January 2018, 21:38) complain
This is a great learning opportunity. I used up my hints, but studied each one to see what I had missed. Then cleared the puzzle and did it again without hints. Had gotten off on the wrong tangent the first time. Really like the picture. Appreciate small, challenging puzzles. Love this one!
Pinetree (1 February 2018, 0:42) complain
Tough to work out, even had to use a new technique. Is doable without guesswork.
Bradley (1 February 2018, 20:11) complain
I agree with the other posters, this one was quite difficult for me, but through the use of hints (and no guessing) I was able to solve it. I learned some new tricks too, which is always nice!
Wendy_Stoll (5 February 2018, 0:35) complain
A lovely, delicate image. Easy, once you get going.
Risus_Khan (4 May 2018, 0:16) complain
Easy...
Guest: Art (4 May 2018, 21:14) complain
Interesting and beautiful. No guesses or hints are necessary.
Hardest yet - and I didn't manage it without the hints and some backtracking.

I need some higher-level skills.
silvestra (11 June 2018, 2:06) complain
I'm extremely happy to have solved this without hints or guessing, in my opinion a lot of 3 or 3,5 star puzzles have been harder than this one. Exciting!
dlom (13 June 2018, 19:19) complain
Making the first non-obvious move is the hardest

Exactly! And once you've learned that move, you'll find it useful for other puzzles! Hints have SO much to teach us!!! :)))
Prikichi (23 July 2018, 5:56) complain
Quite challenging and considering the size a good picture too.

Fantastic job! Challenging and beautiful.
nmcrn (9 December 2018, 23:16) complain
I tried this puzzle lots of times and I finely finished it! Without hints& guessing :) I like how the final result looks and my tip for solving it is to think a few steps forwards and not just think on your current step.
Nesman (16 February 2019, 0:10) complain
It was slow to start but when rows and columns started to connect it got a lot easier. Nice challenge.
Lyman_Zerga (24 March 2019, 15:44) complain
Just at the start you have to find a tough particular one in order to solve this puzzle. Had to use my brain actually. Nice...
Did it again this time - still tough, but ticked right through with no hints. Skills improving.
Koralek (19 April 2019, 5:04) complain
Just 1 hint :)
Guest: Creatura (20 May 2019, 18:14) complain
This was the best one so far on this website.
No hints required and yet quite hard.
The artworks is also beautiful.
survik1 (4 June 2019, 2:10) complain
Hard, but not the hardest.
gilmarja (3 July 2019, 14:37) complain
Ever since somenone here mentioned solving some puzzles without x's, I tried to do so. I have done all of them this way for 2-star puzzles. In this one, I have forgotten of x's and suddenly, it was done without x's too! Too much rewarding!
smartymarty (26 July 2019, 12:15) complain
Challenging to solve, which I like. Good mental engagement!
oguzkaanozgen (13 August 2019, 15:28) complain

I've gotten through 750+ of these puzzles and this is the first comment I'm leaving. Enjoyed the difficulty - the image doesn't feel worth the time investment, though. Find a lot of people say they've "learned new methods" without actually offering assistance so to that end:

I learned something new during this puzzle. I was stuck for about 10 minutes after 47 moves. By this point I'd identified 13 across, 9 down as black. It was either a 1 or part of the 4 but either way the square to the right of it must be blank.

That got me over the first hump - hope it helps somebody. I did get stuck again but that was overlooking something obvious through tiredness. Solved (eventually!) in 42 minutes. Thank you for uploading, really appreciate being able to work my way through so many of these.

Care to explain why "the square to the right of it must be blank"?

Tonste (28 March 2020, 6:43) complain
spoiler
lucky that i happened to flick back through my replies the day after you asked! the reason it has to be blank is that it's either part of the 4 or the 1 so the two outcomes are:
*Part of the 4 - the "1" still has to come after it as they're always in the same order as described. As this row states "4 1" then if the black square in question was the end of the 4, the "1" would have to be on the very right hand square and the one in between is blank.
*It's the 1 - if it's the 1, then the squares to either side are always blank

Either way, the square to the right HAS to be blank. This is always the case when you find a black square 2 away from an edge on a row/column where the last number is "1". You can't say for sure where the 1 is but it's a guarantee that the penultimate square is blank.

Went into a lot of detail there as not sure i'll pick up question replies - hope it makes sense and helps! :)

Ever since someone here mentioned solving puzzles without using x's, I decided to give it a try. I've now completed all the 2-star puzzles this way. For this particular one, I didn’t even think about x's—and before I knew it, it was solved! It’s incredibly rewarding! https://ragdollhit.io
