Japanese crossword «Twig»

Surprisingly tricky for such a small grid!!

This was hard. At one point I was looking for the next step for at least 5 minutes, which is a lot for small size. After finding it the rest came into place smoothly as usual.

very nice one.

Great challenge!

Deceptively hard for such a small puzzle. Took me a while before I could find the right logic to start opening up the puzzle.

During my solve I had noticed at least two times where I figured out cells based on logic chains that were a few steps long (if cell A is light green, that forces cell B, then this clue forces cell C... and oh, that breaks the puzzle, so that can't be the right cell).

Tricky indeed

Wow, that was really hard!

Yes, quite a challenge, but so satisfying when you solve it!

A challenge getting started but enjoyable, thank you

Not that hard, just time consuming.

Got it fairly quickly with X's but I'm sure this would have been a lot harder without them. Great puzzle! I think there might have been a bit of a mistranslation, which is unfortunate, but obviously doesn't detract from the puzzle.

Lovely colours - creating such a refreshing looking picture. Very nice balance. Thank you
