Crossword	Date	Comment
Viola tricolor	28 November 2017, 3:37	A creative and artistic design with beautiful colors. I had no idea what it was going to be until I figured out what the mistranslation was (not a musical instrument, I'm quite sure)!
Merry Christmas	28 November 2017, 3:16	I love this, Darya! Since I can't go down to micro size, I had to cheat on the right-hand-side, but it was still a lot of fun--especially the upper left hand side. Beautifully done! Great action shot! Спасибо за прекрасный кроссворд!
Grenades	27 November 2017, 0:37	This must be a mistranslation from our Russian-hosted site. Although [spoiler alert] [pun intended] if you used over-ripe pomegranates as weapons, they might function like a grenade...
Sailboat	27 November 2017, 0:06	Really? Another one? Oh, it's probably just not my thing.

Flamingo	26 November 2017, 2:18	I keep thinking that it has to be a bigger challenge to do a good "small" puzzle than a good "big" one. This is amazing! Wow!

Runner	24 November 2017, 6:23	Thank you for going into the nanogram design business, Bob--especially black and white. I appreciate the ones that are small enough for me (20-23 high, 25-35 wide, more or less--I have vision limitations)). I love the motion in this one. Forward momentum!
The larva of the may beetle	24 November 2017, 4:43	Educational, Dima! Thank you!
Lighthouse	24 November 2017, 4:17	Dramatic! I wish your puzzles weren't quite so big. I can't see well enough to do puzzles much bigger than 23 tall and 30-40 wide. You make a lot of great puzzles!

A great poet	24 November 2017, 4:06	Very well done, Irina!
Cleaning	24 November 2017, 4:03	This looks like an image out of ordinary life--not "prettified," but true to life. I love how you do this. It makes me feel like I'm in one of the Eastern bloc countries seeing life go on among miles and miles of tall concrete housing units. I appreciate the way you reveal the heart of life in Russia. It's art, Dasha!
Violet	24 November 2017, 3:57	Oh, wow, this is absolutely beautiful! It hurts my eyes to work in a smaller size than "normal." It would wonderful if you could do a smaller version of this! I really love it!
Flower	24 November 2017, 3:55	Breath-taking, Vanecc! Love the colors!
Factory	24 November 2017, 3:53	Fascinating! Is that the world it's sitting on? A powerful social statement--a drawing that is dramatic and starkly beautiful from the home of Chernobyl! Thanks for reminding us, Dasha!

Cheburashka, an animal with large monkey-like ears and a cub-like body, lives in a tropical forest. He gets into a crate of oranges, eats his fill, and falls asleep. The crate is delivered to a grocery store in Russia. The store manager sets the creature on the table. He tumbles off (cheburakhnulsya="tumble"). The store manager names him "Cheburashka".

Kvartal	23 November 2017, 2:21	If you visit cities that were in the Eastern bloc, you will find miles upon miles of plain gray high-rise buildings. The tree is the message of hope in the midst of that terrible ugliness and conformity. Well done, Barva!

Shoot	22 November 2017, 21:52	I've noticed that, Alina. It's fun to try to imagine what word was mistranslated.
Perfume	22 November 2017, 21:41	How difficult is a crossword? Well, if you think it's a good idea to do the yellow first, going left to right, this one is a big headache... but sometimes I'm an idiot...
Chamomile	22 November 2017, 21:08	I had to look it up. Not at all what I thought it was! Lovely! Beautiful use of negative space.
