Japanese crossword #47282

A simple puzzle, but a clever and original idea!

Unique picture!

This was excellent, both in construction and image. There is no reason that a color puzzle has to be a mindless paint-by-numbers affair. Here, zzyf creates a puzzle that could have worked perfectly well in black-and-white, but would have lost some of the punch without a pop of color. This isn't the work of a creator showing off their pixel art talents (not to say zzyf is not talented) at the expense of the solving experience. This is a puzzle first and foremost with the constructor creating a finely tuned brain workout that also delivers a satisfying reward.

I've solved a number of zzyf's past works and been underwhelmed. Here's to hoping more puzzles of this quality are in the pipeline.

Good, thank you

So original! Great execution! Fun to solve!

Good work.

that was fun, a toy that has never changed much, thanks

Brilliant! The negative space made it surprisingly challenging for the size! Quite fun for a little puzzle!

I would never thought about something like that. That is great thinking.

Oh, I love the concept of this!
