Crossword	Date	Comment
Sakura	1 December 2023, 6:29	Nice solid challenge, but not impossible... it helps to figure out the yellows...
Heron	28 November 2023, 7:32	Nice solid challenge throughout... and great pic!
Heron	27 November 2023, 5:36	Don't spoil it
A.Modigliani - Amazzoni (Beatrice Hastings)	24 November 2023, 5:44	Easy the first half, and a little bit of challenge in the second half
Northern Pacific Seastar	20 November 2023, 5:45	Wow... very hard to get going, but possible without hints...deserving of its difficulty rating.
Tiger with a heart	17 November 2023, 8:49	Nice pic and challenge... it deserves more comments!
Ahsoka Tano	14 November 2023, 7:45	Great pic! The first half was definitely easier than the rating would indicate, but it got a little tough towards the end. Nice puzzle.
Gyarados	12 November 2023, 7:42	Extremely difficult to start... but a great puzzle. When I was half way done, my son walked by and figured out what it was :)
Pussy willow	4 November 2023, 22:35	Solid challenge throughout... great puzzle
Girl	31 October 2023, 6:03	Nice puzzle... It was pretty straightforward for 75% of it, but filling in the end was really tough... had to develop a few new tricks to solve, and took over 5 hours.
Mjolnir (Thor's Hammer)	29 October 2023, 1:41	Extremely difficult... really takes a different type of logic than most puzzles... you really have to just try things out, and look a couple of steps ahead to figure out what doesn't work. The comment I saw pointing out symmetry also helped, as when you finally figure something out in one direction, it tends to work out in the other.
Dog	20 October 2023, 4:46	Nice challenging puzzle and pic... nothing too tricky
Battle Heirlooms	19 October 2023, 5:48	Enjoyable throughout... not extremely hard, but a bit tricky in the last hour...

Dimitrescu's strength by Dima Ivanov	3 March 2023, 6:31	Good puzzle... unique picture with average difficulty
Lavender	24 February 2023, 8:20	Its do-able without cheating... just prepare for a couple hours, and for it to be a challenge throughout... great puzzle. Any puzzle this small that is rated a 4/5 is going to be hard...

Lilac	8 January 2023, 21:20	Nice Challenge!
Comrades (Henry Scott Tuke)	1 January 2023, 23:37	It was a technically enjoyable puzzle to solve, even thought the browns were difficult. However, I was disappointed with the picture subject matter...didn't care for getting an all male picture after spending 11 hours on it.

Rhino	6 December 2022, 6:58	I didn't realize till halfway through there were two gray colors :) A little hard to tell them apart
Ring	5 December 2022, 8:09	Good pic, but very tedious with all the "1" blocks
Foam	4 December 2022, 7:06	Good puzzle, but I've got to say I was worried, as until I got 3/4 of the way through, it looked like it was going to be a pic of a dude...
Hello... Friday	6 September 2022, 7:36	Nice challenge... it was a little bit difficult throughout, which I like... and I couldn't quite tell what it was until the very end.
