very good job!!#7: Simon Hill (Simon Hill) on Apr 4, 2007
I was 25% finished with the puzzle, ready to drop it because it looked like nonsense, before I realized what I was looking at. Then I said, WOW! and happily finished it.#8: Deana L (FFsWife) on Oct 26, 2007
You did an amazing job!
Absolutely recognizable! Wonderful job. Was about 2 columns across when I figured out what I thought I was looking at. Excellent job!#9: Gypso (Gypso) on Oct 6, 2007

I started this puzzle had about four of the blobs and I was thinking to myself "What a mess!" But one the "blobs" was the very recognizable Idaho shape and guessing from its position in the grid I knew it had to be the US. From then on the puzzle was very enjoyable. Nice puzzle!#16: Stephanie T (laalbacoronada) on Feb 4, 2009
holy cow! great job! I'm impressed that you managed to get suck amazing detail out of such a small puzzle!#17: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Feb 5, 2009
sometimes typo's are so fuuny#18: Arduinna (arduinna) on Feb 5, 2009
Yeah-- that one made me laugh too!#19: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Feb 7, 2009
Lol...I had to look for the typo a long time since it was suth a hard one to find!#20: Teresa K (fasstar) on Apr 26, 2009
BTW...I totally and wholeheartedly agree with all the praise for this puzzle and the puzzlemaker. Kudos!
Ah, what fun this one was - when the blobs suddenly became recognizable! That obviously took a lot of planning and work. Jan, I'm glad I found this on the Best list. It is one of my favorites.#21: Meg Smith (Mamadragonfreak) on Jun 10, 2009 [SPOILER]

Very nice. I live in the white space that represents the Puget Sound.#30: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 20, 2011
Brilliant!#31: Sarah Andrews (sarah) on Feb 20, 2011
It's fun to see the earlier puzzles that Kristen is doing. I've forgotten some of them -- not this one though because it's so good.#32: Edith Clark (eclark) on Jan 8, 2012
I absolutely love this puzzle. I often don't try to figure out what I'm solving but this time it hit me early on. I can't believe anyone would nitpick about any part of it. (Someone may nitpick about the spelling of nitpick but spell checker likes it--right or wrong.) I'd love to see someone do better in the same size puzzle. :) I couldn't even come close. I'm amazed.#33: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jun 14, 2013
It's definitely amazing for the size. I got about 2 states in from the west coast and suddenly realized what it was.#34: Beth Baumgartner (nofinercat) on Jul 14, 2014
This is a great puzzle, Jan! Thanks!#35: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Nov 15, 2017 [SPOILER]

I think you are a bit outvoted here Steve. Out of all of the comments made only two of you don't like it.#38: Henny Phan (M432) on Jul 12, 2021
Awesome
