Japanese crossword «Sakura»

Little too difficult for me. Too much white space.

Very tricky and very beautiful Sakura!

Good one.

Gorgeous!

One of the most difficult puzzles if you don't use any hints or guessing. Well worth it with the beautiful picture, though!

Had to make a couple of guesses! Very nice - thank you :))

Tricky!!!

I don't often find one I can't solve without using crosses (or dots), but this was one. Very good challenge and picture.

Great challenge - thanks! More of those, please :)

Nice one. And fun to solve.

Nice one, thank you very much. It's quite a challenge, particularly at the start. I enjoyed it.

I'm glad to see that I am not the only one to find this difficult, but totally doable without hints. Thank you for the exquisite result.

utterly beautiful - and a fun challenge as well!

I did it! At last... 715 moves, 0 hints :-)

kkkk

I worked on this for two hours but had to give it up. I really don't see how it can be solved with logic alone. I started out with putting some crosses in fields that I could see had to be empty. And then I had to take first hint, second hint, third hint ! And with none of those hints I could see its logic inevitability. Really frustrating. Is there a secret code that only nonogrammers of the highest order have access to ?

I returned to this wonderful puzzle three days ago beginning afresh promising myself that I wouldn't put anything in any field that I could not explain by logic. After several hours I succeeded. What a challenge ! By far the hardest puzzle I have tried. But so rewarding. My thanks to Arina !

You are so beautiful! To me... ♫♫♫

What a great challenge!

I really enjoyed the challenge. More of those, please! :-)

great challenge, really enjoyed this one.

I chose this puzzle because I wanted a beautiful picture and thought I wanted a challenge, except once I got started... I didn't want the challenge! So I set aside my purist hat and went about solving it with "logical guessing," using the options to switch on crossing out numbers and completing the rows with x's plus some judicious use of the check crossword button. I looked for patterns, especially the yellows and dark pinks, and I really enjoyed seeing the picture evolve! I may come back some day and try to do this "properly."

cherry blossoms, so beautiful

Lovely, thank you

Wow! That was soooo much guessing. ;'D Just... soooo much guessing. I know you can technically solve it without guessing, but I couldn't! ;'D

Beautiful and steadily difficult. I had to use some unusual methods to even begin to solve it, but it was possible without guessing. Thank you!

Nice solid challenge, but not impossible... it helps to figure out the yellows...

Difficult but very interesting, thank's
