Japanese crossword «Flower»

I HAD to make several guesses to solve this.

I didn't need to guess, but it did take a lot of time for me to even begin solving this properly.

Took forever to find a starting place and guesses had to be made.

The beginning is brutal. It's all about figuring out where the blue squares can and can't go.

Really hard to solve.

Empezarlo es un ejercicio realmente duro. Luego la cosa se simplifica mucho, pero realmente hay que pensar y calcular mucho para iniciarlo.

Hay que desarrollar nuevas estrategias mucho más complicadas para resolverlo.

Felicidades

You're right - the blue ones hold the key! Thank you :)

Wow, das war eine Herausforderung. Gut so, dadurch hat es richtig Spaß gemacht. Danke schön.

Wow, indeed!I think this is the hardest puzzle in the medium size section. I could fill in a few black squares initially, but it only started to become a little bit easier when I filled in the bottom right corner with all blue, and then started to remove them where the black squares could only go! Hope that helps, it took me 2 hours!

Great and difficult puzzle. Nice picture.
Now it is estimated as 4-star difficult. In my opinion it is 4,5-star.

As everyone says, the beginning is tricky. For me everything followed reasonably quickly after finding out where the blue square on second to last row goes.

Very pretty

Hard to start but after the first square it was supereasy

Nice puzzle, tricky to get started though.

Once you get stuck after the first few black squares, you can find where a couple blues go by marking off where they definitely can't go. After that it's smooth sailing
