Crossword	Date	Comment
Antique bowl	8 July 2019, 18:48	Exquisite!!
Clown	8 July 2019, 8:10	Most scarecrows don't bother with faces at all. All they rely on is being sufficiently like a human being to register as such on birdbrains. I never understood why so many people have a fear of clowns. But then, I'd never seen this one!
Gypsy	8 July 2019, 6:45	The solution is in your hands: don't read the comments until you're done.
Flower	8 July 2019, 4:14	I'm not quite clear how all the parts are supposed to be connected, but it's a striking design.
Fox	8 July 2019, 3:12	Thank you! I couldn't do better than "severely malformed"; but the tail makes much better sense.
Grasshopper	8 July 2019, 0:04	Unique and interesting.
Cat	7 July 2019, 5:37	OD'd on catnip?
Cocktail	7 July 2019, 5:01	Not enough layers for a pousse-café, but I don't know any other with such distinct layers.
Hare	6 July 2019, 5:05	A little lopsided--which shows he's received (and given!) a great deal of loving over many years.
Dwarf	5 July 2019, 19:31	I would have gone for a pink or peach instead of the light grey. Otherwise: great job, instantly recognizable.
Lovers	5 July 2019, 19:05	When I was just starting off I was sure it was going to turn out as Abraham Lincoln.
Watermelon and eggplant	4 July 2019, 20:34	I said to myself, said I, "That looks like [title]. But that would be absurd: no one would put those together." I'm just so damn insightful it scares me.
Grapes	4 July 2019, 17:20	The blue/purple shades were far too similar; and I don't see how the picture is enhanced by using two colors instead of one. My eyes are crossed and I have a headache.
Kiss	2 July 2019, 7:37	Extremely good!
Dog	1 July 2019, 21:58	Wonderful--although I hadn't planned to be spending 40 minutes here just now!
Cats	1 July 2019, 20:46	Yes, cute is the word.
Steam train	1 July 2019, 20:33	Just because you can't see the rest of the train doesn't mean it isn't there...
Lamp	1 July 2019, 20:19	First I've seen where the switch is attached to the shade!
Athlete	30 June 2019, 12:39	Very unhealthy complexion. Should see a vascular surgeon about his circulation problems...
Cannon	30 June 2019, 12:24	The earliest puzzles aren't given author credits.
Sun	30 June 2019, 12:12	The green rays are a little troubling ...
Globus	30 June 2019, 6:10	And the pink is meant to show ... ??
Apple	29 June 2019, 21:25	The dark red disappears into the surrounding black. I think those black squares would better have been left white. But a fun picture nonetheless!
Ripe apple	29 June 2019, 20:12	On a slice of cantelope?
The man at the computer	29 June 2019, 5:53	The keyboard's a touch-screen built into the desktop. nods sagely
Fire extinguisher	28 June 2019, 23:15	"Too easy." "Boring." Hey, people: it's difficulty rating is 1.5. You want something that's going to take three weeks of intensive deduction, you should have gone elsewhere.
Earth	28 June 2019, 23:07	The islands are a nice touch.
Carrot	28 June 2019, 18:46	I wish someone would explain how to set all the marvellous settings I keep hearing about. If I go to "settings" all I get is my personal information and a place to put in some sort of wallet number.
Aquarius	28 June 2019, 18:02	There's no difference in "laziness" between an empty line and one that's full. (I agree that a blue square connecting the blue to the brown would have been an improvement--I just object to the nastiness of the put-down.) Anyway, I was absolutely convinced I was looking at a fish of some kind until it was all done and I leaned back to appreciate just how bizarre this fish was...
Apple with a worm	28 June 2019, 17:46	I would have made the lower section of black green instead. But I suppose there are all sorts.
No Smoking	28 June 2019, 6:14	I could see the first word in the title fairly early on; but it wasn't until I started on the second color that I realized what the second word would be.
Jeep	27 June 2019, 17:54	And the red bit in the middle is ... ?
Brillant	26 June 2019, 0:58	Too many similar shades for me.
Puppy	26 June 2019, 0:08	Very cute.
Goat	24 June 2019, 7:22	I guessed correctly, but it's still a struggle to see.
Girl with ball	21 June 2019, 19:36	I can't quite see the last word, but it was very enjoyable nonetheless.
Chicken	17 June 2019, 22:16	... with a food addiction!
Cat	17 June 2019, 17:49	Very clever.
Duck	6 June 2019, 23:22	Far too many similar colors. It was pretty much guesswork from start to finish.
Browser Chrome	5 June 2019, 1:50	I kept thinking "I've seen this before"--but since I assumed it was sports-related I also assumed I was imagining things. And (on my monitor at least) the colors are spot on.
Isaac	3 June 2019, 14:50	The name's not uncommon; any chance of a hint as to which one this might be? (Because none of those I can think of spring to mind for this picture.)
Fox	2 June 2019, 1:11	Yes, I see it--but I don't know what all the rest is (like especially the lower right).
Satellite	1 June 2019, 6:29	So then: not a [spoiler]smiling maimed octopus flying through the night sky?[/spoiler] At least I got that last bit right...
Jam	29 May 2019, 6:02	For a long time I was thinking it was a telephone.
Potion Bottle	26 May 2019, 16:50	I'm not sure where guessing leaves off and intuition guided by experience starts. I frequently say to myself, "It has to be this way" without actually counting boxes.
Horse	22 May 2019, 3:55	Yeah, that's happened to me. Just hit ESC and then go back in--it'll have cleared up.
Dog	22 May 2019, 3:29	No clue until I filled in my last two squares. Great!
Peach	20 May 2019, 5:49	Okay... but not a color I've ever seen one come in before.
Book	20 May 2019, 2:44	In the thousands of these I've done, I've very very rarely found anything like a tip in the comments; but hundreds of references to what the picture turns out to be. The wisest course, if this disturbs you, is to avoid comments until you're done. Or possibly until you're so frustrated that you don't care any more.
Traffic Lights of Birds	19 May 2019, 7:01	Well, I said, it must be a woman with a bird on her head. Guess not.
