Crossword	Date	Comment
Binoculars	18 December 2024, 7:17	I agree. Symmetry is good for beginners, but for experienced puzzle solvers it becomes extremely tedious.
Seahorse	18 December 2024, 7:16	I was hoping it would be a caiman instead of this frequently-depicted subject.
Dude	16 December 2024, 10:21	Looks like a pierrot. Or the characters in Pagliacci. Or David Bowie in the "Ashes to Ashes" video.
Red cat	15 December 2024, 4:10	IT HAS NO LEGS!!!
Butterfly	12 December 2024, 4:54	If you do the yellows and purples first, it is totally one of those lollipops that look like pacifiers. (And then it is disappointing when it is not...)
Girl	7 December 2024, 22:01	Deep in thought. She's about to have a great idea...
Pirates	6 December 2024, 8:59	Or... "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle..."
Madonna - True Blue	6 December 2024, 8:09	Very interesting. I was solving this (much harder than such a small puzzle should be), while listening to the radio. When the puzzle was finished, I got the impression of a face, but only when I read the title I realized that it was the same face that was singing into my headphones at that very second! Eerie!
Bunny	6 December 2024, 7:56	Awww, sweet!
Jack Russell Terrier	6 December 2024, 4:56	It's Eddie! (Frasier)
Girl	3 December 2024, 7:43	I think that, as large as this one is, it should have been a little cleaner and more detailed. The chin is so small, there are a couple of odd white spots in the hair, and I can't figure out what the white part is in the clothing.
Nirvana - Nevermind	2 December 2024, 9:23	Seems to be missing a pixel...
Marilyn Monroe	2 December 2024, 4:06	This one definitely needed more pixels to get a good representation. This subject is so highly recognizable that you need a lot more detail than this to correctly convey it.
Fish	1 December 2024, 12:24	This was weirdly difficult for me. I kept making mistakes!
Elephant	28 November 2024, 9:20	Easy and striking.
Lips	23 November 2024, 7:16	I thought it was going to be some boring sunglasses emoji. The final picture was much better than that!
Kitty	23 November 2024, 5:32	We have a little one just this color!
Arecibo message to extraterrestrial life	20 November 2024, 8:34	That's so cool!
Microsoft Clippy	19 November 2024, 23:47	That's awesome. It's good for new solvers too, as it was pure logic; very easy.
Evil Ant	19 November 2024, 8:57	That's hilarious.
Chess	12 November 2024, 19:30	Oooh, the timer in the back is a nice touch!
Oak leaf	12 November 2024, 18:57	Interesting. I thought this was at least a half a dozen other things before the final square.
Chicken	12 November 2024, 18:43	Great shading.
Pierrot et la lune	8 November 2024, 12:56	I should want to conjure up Noel Coward's song "Parisian Pierrot," but for some reason I see this and can't help but hear in my head, "Riiiiidiiiiii, Pagliaaaaaaaacciooooo..."
Fish skeleton	5 November 2024, 2:29	This was interesting to do. There were a few times I had to really think about it to find the next move, and the moves were odd but logical.
Waltz	3 November 2024, 5:53	This was amazingly difficult! I love the form of the picture, though I think it would have worked better as a larger puzzle, because some of the fine details are muddled.
Mother and child	3 November 2024, 2:00	This is really sweet. It has a lot of movement---you can see the wind in her hair and her skirt trailing behind. You can feel that it is a crisp fall day, and something interesting is about to happen. It tells a story. I like it a lot!
Ladybug	2 November 2024, 0:36	This was so many things before it was the final thing. If you do the black first, the upper part looks like some sort of predatory bird.
Clown	30 October 2024, 9:04	The lack of red filling out the 4th petal in the hat is bugging me to no end.
Whale	30 October 2024, 6:02	I like that there's a hint of an outline, in two different colors, just enough to define it but not so much as to make the picture cumbersome.
Gymnast	22 October 2024, 19:16	Good subject, but I felt that the lines on the top and left were unnecessary. They echo the bar at the bottom, which IS necessary. It almost feels sloppy, like the artist felt the picture needed something extra but didn't want to put the time into creating the extra.
Saboteur	20 October 2024, 8:20	I am pleased it was NOT a mushroom.
Flower	16 October 2024, 7:30	Very easy one for people who are new to solving color puzzles.
Caterpillar	15 October 2024, 9:14	The white space made this amazingly difficult. Just enough white to keep me carefully counting the entire time. Nice image; I was mystified for most of the puzzle, until the very end when it started to become apparent.
Two-faced	14 October 2024, 8:25	At first I was thinking Phantom of the Opera, but this is much creepier. Still very compelling, though. A nice change from the more normal subjects!
Match	14 October 2024, 8:00	Holding it awfully close to the tip...
Armchair	13 October 2024, 18:57	It started out really abstract. Only the last few squares put it all into place and something much more organic. Interesting.
Mushroom	13 October 2024, 6:42	Cool shading.
Turtle	13 October 2024, 6:34	A good fun solve, but the subject was pretty obvious very early on.
Dragon	12 October 2024, 9:46	Very cool!
The meeting	11 October 2024, 8:25	Very romantic!
In the grass	10 October 2024, 20:11	I did the pinks and black first, and immediately could see what it was going to be! That first part was kind of tricky, but the rest fell into place pretty easily, for a satisfying picture at the end.
Apples	10 October 2024, 5:54	Nice picture. A little white here and there would add shine and depth, and would have made the puzzle a little more challenging.
Standard Bearer	8 October 2024, 8:51	Is that a bulldog?
Ship	7 October 2024, 21:34	I started from the bottom, and after few rows were done, I thought it was going to be super easy. I was glad that it got a little harder after a while. The finished picture is a bit odd, however. Why is it hovering over the water?
Jumping Dolphin	6 October 2024, 21:18	Something like this. You can still see the outline, but it is intermittent. A few bits of black to make it pop, without it being so heavy.
Jumping Dolphin	6 October 2024, 21:16	I did the black last, and the colors up until that point were magnificent. The delicate form was emerging, and the colors gave the impression of a soft sea foam. I felt that the black ruined the entire picture. It was too heavy. Perhaps if this had been set on a dark ocean-blue background, the form would have been retained that delicacy. Or if the image had been larger overall, so that the black would have been so cumbersome. Or perhaps a few spots of black to give the slightest hint of an outline.
Strange lady	6 October 2024, 1:39	Striking picture! Very mysterious. Looks like it should be a Duran Duran album cover.
Boat	5 October 2024, 5:36	Agreed; I had to back out MANY times, and I used all three hints pretty early on.
Seahorses	5 October 2024, 0:48	I really thought these were going to be vermicious knids, from the Willy Wonka books. They had that sinister, amorphous look. At the very end they were clearly dragons...until they were not.
