Are you referring to the fact that the puzzle lacks a tail? It originally had one, I assure you, but it just made the cat look like it was taking a poop!

I've been doing the puzzles of the day since my initial visit, but I'm terrible without the "fade" feature to facilitate my inevitable guessing. Have you uncovered any super-awesome-happy tricks in your countless hours with the DS game?

Here are the rules, with no lecture on my part about how you didn't see the giant button that read "How To Play".

Heh... no tricks. :-8

I guess you just get used to playing, and (probably?) do it a bit faster. I can tell you though, with 100% honestly, that I've yet to come across a puzzle where you MUST guess. I'm serious. If you simply start going through the rows/columns and start seeing them in combination with each other (i.e. you're retardedly patient... looking at at least the two rows & two columns that surround a square, on top of the row/column the square sits on), you'll always find a spot that either has to be filled or has to be empty. The easier puzzles have more "definite" blocks than the harder ones, so chances of finding one on a smaller grid are higher... and the harder ones will have a HUGE grid (25X20) and in the process of solving it, will sometimes only have ONE "definite" block... that can only be found by taking into account multiple columns/rows at the same time. I've honestly spent 30+ minutes a number of times looking for this single opening... not filling in/emptying a single square the entire time. >_<

Of course, this gets pretty frustrating, and I'd probably be much better off simply guessing through it, but I find it a bit more rewarding without. :wacko: Masochist gamer is me. >:-]

As for Wiipicross... it actually took me a little while to realize the "fade" feature essentially eliminates the uncertainty in guessing. (Without using "fade" I'd say Wiipicross would be a little harder than Picross DS, simply because it doesn't show you what rows/columns you're already done with.) In Picross DS the rows/columns fade out even if you completed a row/column incorrectly. But I suppose that in the "Normal" mode on Picross DS, since it tells you instantly if you made a mistake, it's almost the same thing (if not easier). Using "fade" definitely makes guessing a little less educated... though I'm thinking that there's got to be a few user-created puzzles that would be impossible to solve without guessing. :unsure:

You realize, this would have made your 5-star puzzle a 6-star puzzle, instantly. :w00t:
