Japanese crossword «Impossible square»

Cannot get started

Certainly a challenge to start but not impossible! Eventually things started to flow and the result really is neat! Lovely colors too

I used a couple of the hints to get started.

Pretty pattern, has a sort of Celtic feel.

I loved this one...as poppliopal said, challenging at the start, but easy once you get it...loved the color mix, too. would llike to see more from you, nervmuse!

Name checks out. I don't like puzzles surrounded by a one pixel solid black outline. Making 2 pixels of blacks on one edge or removing one black edge entirely would have made it a lot simpler. 2 black pixels on a bottom edge might have been more aesthetically pleasing, like a shadow. There was one row that overlapped one pixel on each purple that made it solvable, very difficult.

It's really not that bad, I solved it and I'm not really good.

Very pleasing result

Really fun, challenging puzzle. Totally possible without hints, with some care.

Very fun and satisfying to do one colour at a time, thank you!

Was tough, but once I found one, i could keep moving. No cheats, great puzzle!

Agree, challenging to start, definitely a logic puzzle. But fun once you get the pattern. Beautiful result, thanks for the challenge!!

It was hard to get started. I spent 17-18 minutes on the first 5% of the puzzle. After that I spent 4 minutes on the rest

Like others have noted, this was REALLY hard to get started! I had a bit of luck with the light purple, but it took a while to really get it started. I usually like to solve one color at a time, but that was impossible with this one. Even after I was going at a good clip, there were a few points where I got stumped again. Nice work!

So fun!

Hard to start, especially with a couple really similar dark colours, but with patience (and the tip about concentrating on the lightest colour), once I got going, it came together. Nice challenge! Just wish the colours were more distinguishable. Love the geometry.
