It's not fun to solve puzzles like this. The amount of guessing is so vast, it takes the challenge out of it...a machine "plugging in" possible solutions would solve it.

My two cents...I've not gotten to the point of serving up any of my own...so I may not be qualified to criticize...but I am stating a fact. I do not like to start a puzzle and have the whole thing be a big guess...the colors are solvable, but that's about it.

I am sorry that you did not enjoy it.

I have created a few puzzles I try to do a variety of ways for everyone's different pleasures from really simple to a little difficult.

I do not mind critizism from anyone regardless of if you have created any or not I enjoy hearing everyones thoughts who take the time to try what I put out there. I don't really see it as critizism more as an opinion & personal preference.

Thank you for you comments good or bad.

Jess

I had to cheat to get started. But then it wasn't too bad.

I know these are old comments, but I think as you do more puzzles you do learn tricks to make them more solveable. I certainly didn’t have to guess for most of it. Looking at the patterns of numbers will give you clues on where the lines go. I usually start in the border rows and columns.

I agree, no guessing necessary. Edge logic on the two sides and the bottom row did it for me. Jess26 has left the site, but with her puzzle still in circulation more than 12 years on, do you suppose she'd now be Jess38?
