Found to require lots of guessing by infrapinklizzard.#3: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Nov 21, 2018
This has an astronomical number of solutions. Literally.#4: Christine Freer (cfreer) on Dec 13, 2018
In just the top left 10x10 that includes seven blue dots there are 2^17 solutions. That's 131,072. If you go to 15x15, that is 2^57, or 144,115,188,175,855,872. It goes wildly upwards from there.
Just a few comments - with such a small house, you could have had a smaller puzzle, which would have been much easier to solve. I confess that I cheated and looked up the solution, otherwise I fear that I may have had this puzzle open on my desktop for the next 3 years while I figured out all the guesses!#5: Pam Tucker (grammypam) on Sep 7, 2022
Also, such a big puzzle means lots of scrolling.
Hope your Christmas is as beautiful and picturesque as your puzzle.
Personally I enjoy more logic and not so much guessing...BUT, that being said, I did get a lot of practice learning the "system" to solve it. Of course, I HAD to solve it simply because it was so BIG!#6: Bananas (Bananas) on Feb 6, 2023
Phew! That was a lot of work. But I couldn't NOT do it!
