Puzzle Description:

Swan

#1: Gator (Gator) on Jul 10, 2009 [HINT]

A little edge logic required towards the end.

Nice image and fun challenge. I did not need to guess. Good one, Gator!

Great small puzzle. No guessing. Edge logic; that's all.

This was so much fun to solve for a small puzzle! I used a little smile logic at the top but it took more work than average. Good work!

Very nice! Agreed that edge logic was necessary. I *almost* thought it unsolvable, but I got it in the end with logic alone.

Thanks Teresa, Adam, Shae, and Robyn.

Nice one Gator! I'm really liking your puzzles. 15x15-30x30 B&W are my favorite.

Beautiful! :o)

Found to be logically solvable by jan.

@elf - Thanks. I may try a color one at some point, but I've done B&W for so long that it will stay B&W for a while. I'm still getting used to solving color logic puzzles.

@Agneta - Thank you too.

Loved it!

I like solving the small B&W puzzles too. I do every one of those on the site, but only a few of the larger ones.

I got impatient and did a little educated guessing but I probably could have solved without it. Pretty little puzzle.

I solved with no guessing. As in #4 a little bit of smile logic at the top. Didn't really use edge logic at all.

Always grit my teeth when I start one of Gator's puzzles because I know they're going to be tough. But I also know I'm going to feel like I accomplished something when it's done. Also kinda of typical for one of his puzzles, I got a slow start, sat there and stared at it for a bit and all of a sudden something fell into place and the rest of it solved rather quickly.

This was a challenging puzzle with a nice picture reward...especially in such a small format.

once again it was so fun and challenging with a rewarding pic at the end. great job. keep 'em coming!

Ditto #14 and #16! Small puzzle, big challenge! Thanks again!

great little puzzle

Really nice puzzle! When I saw the title I thought it was a swan since "Cygnus" reminded the Greek "Κύκνος" (Kyknos) = swan, but then I said "naaah.. it must be a flower or something". But then, it was a swan after all! I didn't know that the word (in some form) was used in English as well.

I pulled it from the name of the constellation. I usually have heard it said as "Cygnus the swan".

Baby swans are called cygnets.

great puzzle for both image and solving

I like that it was small but hard. :) Great image too.

Thanks Diana.

I totally agree with #s 4 and 14. Smile logic works as well as edge logic for this one. Smile is my personal preference over edge, but EL comes up more often. I saw the smile up at the top and the answer fell into place.

This really catches the curve of the neck. Nice.
