Japanese crossword «Palm»

Nice :)

Nice, but is it possible to solve without trial and error?

It looks like the puzzle needs trial and error to solve.

It doesn't need trial and error to solve.

Green part is tough, but it's doable without trial and error

I see the humans have made some interesting puzzles!
But nothing too hard for The Great Papyrus! Nyeh heh heh!

I solved without trial and error, so yeah it's possible

All of the puzzles on this site can be solved without trial and error. They have a program that solves each submission to make sure. Nice palm tree. Thanks!

Really racked my brain to do this one, but it was FUN!!

All that work for a tree!

After doing the trivial bottom, I was sure this was going to be easy. It took some effort to figure out the top.

I'm surprised so many have commented about the difficulty. Sure it's not the easiest one on the site, but I did it relatively fast. And I'm no where near an expert. Nice work anyway :)

Just the right amount of challenge. Thank you.

I didn't guess... but I did make a few errors.

As Eva said, just the right level of challenge! Thank you :)

(And yes, as others have said, it can be solved without trial and error).

Can definitely be solved without trial and error - but it did require me to pick up some new tricks :-D

Tricky

Had to re-visit this a couple of times before I could work it out - very good thank you :)

Bottom very easy, top hard

My toughest so far ;)

harder than most small puzzles but pretty pix!

Eventually a challenging puzzle, thanks!

beautiful graphic but it took me trial and error to solve. I know we're not supposed to but I ran outta sure things!!!

Bottom half was straight-forward. If the top is doable without trial and error (or using the "check puzzle" option), it's way too much work for another palm tree. I think it's more that people are using HUMAN logic to forsee the tree pattern and then filling in what they "logically" see is the next step. It's a form of logic, but it's still truly trial and error. I've not heard that there is a computer algorithm that solves these, but if that's true, maybe I need to try this one over. Too bad the picture is kinda boring. XP

This is my favorite kind of puzzle! Love it!

I got stuck midway through the leafs and had to make a guess.

The first time I solved this puzzle, I used 95% logical deduction, then 5% trial and error at the end when the treetops got too tricky. After reading these comments, I decided to try the puzzle again, this time using 100% logical deduction and no guesswork or cheating. I did it - but it took me a long time. Very interesting puzzle.

Clearly not a difficult one. It took me 23 minutes without any trial and error. Probably average difficulty.

Took me 18 minutes, longest ever for a small puzzle, nice challenge!! There is one trick that you need several times for the greens, but it's too complicated to explain here...
It has to do with the order of the squares if there's a repetition. If someone else can explain, please do, because if you know that trick you can solve almost all of the puzzles on the site.

This only took me 7 minutes, I didn't find it that hard, all very logical, but I have been doing them for a while so maybe I can see how to solve the tricky bits quite quickly. I think it's just practice. I find the middle size ones very challenging (sorted by difficulty descending).

I had to come back to this one after quite a while since I started it but eventually I solved it without hints or trial and error.

Thanks for the challenge. A few if this then that statements and the puzzle is totally doable. I always start with the premise that we NEVER have to guess.

Logic includes excluding the impossible.

6 minutes and 6 seconds.

Unusual tones in a slightly tricky composition

Palm

Nice! Small but really tricky in the upper half. It's rightfully among the most challenging puzzles around this size.
Bonus: Not a flower. :)

I found the green part very hard - in a few places I had to guess from the shape of the thing that it obviously was.

cool!

Challenging, but fun :) Also pretty!

The lower part is not a puzzle, it's a coloring book. But the palm is a very interesting puzzle. I can confirm it has a unique solution, and it's possible to do it without cheating.

This hardly qualifies as average. I am genuinely baffled that it has such a high difficulty level. But as someone here commented, I've been doing this for a while, so maybe it is just practice indeed.
