Japanese crossword «Lavender»

sweet : )

So tedious, I gave up and guessed. Pretty result, tho.

I can't bear it! I had to take a hint almost at the beginning of the purple/blues and even then couldn't prove the hint to be true... I felt I'd cheated after that point. I don't mind tedious, if I know I'm at least getting somewhere...but this...

Without hint, it took 23 minutes... It is very long for a small puzzle. Where is my award?

I loved it a lot just the perfect amount of difficulty.

Loved it, suprisingly challenging for a small puzzle. A lovely puzzle very engaging.

I think it's lovely. Pretty picture with great colours. Not tedious at all... just surprisingly difficult after the very easy start. I look forward to more from you. :)

That was such a fascinating challenge! I kept almost giving up then recounting and spotting something I'd missed. Great job!

Lovely picture and not too difficult to solve

Thanks. I would not call it tedious. It required some thought which is the whole point of a puzzle. It was far trickier than one might expect and therefore more rewarding for such a small puzzle.

Annoying as hell - tedious

I've been on and off this for a few days, and thought about quitting and guessing a couple of times, but I'm glad I didn't. Answer isn't obvious, you gotta combine columns and rows. Now that I'm done I can finally rest. Not the best picture though. Hhahaha

I enjoyed this puzzle, guessed the title, didn't find it tedious at all. thank you

Great puzzle! Didn't expect the difficulty, so very fun.

was guessing, don't like that

Tricky, yet rewarding. Lovely stuff, thank you!

Not too tedious. Tricky, but a fun puzzle and a pretty picture.

Very relaxing, more like painting than puzzle solving, very nice! Perfect for midnight when you can't sleep lol

I guess if you have problems, start from the bottom, it's all laid out, then it's just skip around a bit.

it's lovely, a favorite of mine. as for cheating, whatever rules you want are the rules you follow, these are puzzles you do for fun , thanks

I loved it. Hard to solve, but not impossible. Pretty picture in the end.

Too many 1's and 2's

VERY difficult. I did manage to complete it logically without hints tho. Thanks for the challenge!

I started it then gave up on it. Couple of months later I tried again. Stuck to it. I'm so proud! :D

I feel relieved at reading the comments - I thought I was being dense. I must admit I just let symmetry of the pattern take over. I do like the result but had to read the title in order to identify what it was and then it made me smile :):)

for once I didn't mind the "onesies", although I couldn't do it in my usual way of doing by color groups rather than row by row. Excellent challenge and worth the work. I figured the general "title" but had several possibilities in mind.

I'll admit, I had to make one guess, which I hate doing, but at least it was just the one. :)

Difficult to solve, which is great. The picture is average. Good time solving it. Thank you.

very nice!

This took forever, but I did it without hints! Great puzzle!

sensational puzzle

Arguably the hardest puzzle I did so far!

Good challenge, it is solvable by logic, but it takes a bit of thought. Thank you, I enjoyed this.

Way harder than 3 stars in my opinion.

Dilly, dilly.
