Whew! That one was tricky. If you can't get the stuff in the upper right, remember that it's a 3.5 star difficulty and you'll have to employ some tricky tricks. Try the trick where you notice that some squares (like the ones on the edges) can absolutely not be the other color.

Really cool one, the right side is a bit tricky, but it is solvable!
replyThe right side is sure tricky, took me a while to figure out how to solve it. Good one!
replyI don't really like these kinds of puzzles where I have to think ahead more than one move to solve them.
replyVery well crafted little puzzle. Really had to work at it.
replyIf you get the Ace of Hearts first and realize you are dealing with playing cards, you will realize that the second card in the back is angled and get the 2-2-2 pattern of the rest going across and down. I don't think this counts as a guess, anyway. :) Before the first card was finished and I saw the heart, I was thinking "love potion". LOL
replyWow, this was tricky. I figured out what it was going to be very early, so I could guess a lot of the dots.
replyArhhh, the end is really difficult. I used a hint and did not understood it :-)
Once I understood the trick (black and yellow can't be mixed), I finished in about 3 minutes.
replyOnce I understood the trick (black and yellow can't be mixed), I finished in about 3 minutes.
I tried a hint toward the end when I got stuck and I didn't see how they came to it.
replyNo need for hints, or guesses, or trying to figure out a few moves ahead. It's a good challenge. When you get stuck at the end, instead of the usual counting, just look down the side of the last completed column, or along the top of the last completed row, you'll see that there is only one place that black or yellow can go.
Great puzzle, thanks.
replyGreat puzzle, thanks.

Really challenging. Had to guess at the end. Relly good puzzle
replyI DID IT without any hint or quesses. It took me hours and I'm really proud of myself.
replyno guessing, no hints, no errors and under 10 mins. Can be done...just logic
replyNo guessing and no hint. But it took me 1:19:12, and I'm proud of it ! 1000 thanks, Arina !
replyLoved this. Challenging. Very simple be really hard to figure out. Ended up using logic. THANKS!
replyBeautiful, and not too hard to solve. :) (no guesses, only logic)
replyLooking at all the comments from 2016 to 2021, you can see how people have become more adept at employing the right strategy and solving those puzzles... :) We've gone from 'Had to guess' to 'Simple but fun!'

This one looks so innocent at the start with all the big segments in the rows. But once you get to the end, it starts becoming a game of "Where can I put this color?"
