If you never played before we suggest taking a look at the "How to play" in-game.

The rules of this game are simple.

• Each clue indicates a group of contiguous cells filled with a single colour.
• There must be at least one empty cell between each group of the same colour, while groups of different colours do not necessarily have empty cells between them.
• Clues are always given in the correct sequence.

That's it! Keep in mind that guessing is not a part of this game. All puzzles can be solved by logic alone.

Creating a puzzle is more than just drawing a picture, a puzzle must validate, which means it must be possible to solve it. Creating interesting puzzles is not easy, don't be disappointed if your first attempts don't even validate.

Furthermore, in order to be approved a puzzle must follow a few rules:

Picmas must form a picture that makes sense. Abstract puzzles composed of randomly filled cells are not fun to solve.

Personally or generally offensive puzzles are not accepted, nor obscene, political or religious images. We also do not accept flags or company/club logos.

While it is hard to know what puzzles we already have online, it is also not easy (at larger sizes) to make an exact duplicate of an existing puzzle unless you try to copy an existing design.

We strive to keep puzzle quality to certain standards, incredibly simple puzzles such as "Checkers" will not be accepted.

- Please note that it is (currently) impossible to notify and explain to every author why their puzzle was not approved.

Gold medals are given if your time is 30% better than the average, silver for 15% and Bronze for 5%.

It means "No average". Puzzles must be played by a certain number of people before we calculate an average and send out medals.

Every puzzle set with a green title, such as "Journeyman" or "Master" is free. Sets with a yellow title and puzzles in the "New puzzles" section are only available if you have credits or a subscription.

The numerical hints fade when you have the correct number of cells in the correct order, it doesn't mean they are necessarily in the correct place. One of the dangers of using "Free" mode is that you may make a mistake while solving a puzzle making it almost impossible to complete without starting over.

Most puzzles are processed in 24-48h, but it may take longer.

As long as you didn't break any of the rules outlined above in "Create your own puzzles!", it's likely that your puzzle is simply taking a bit longer than usual to approve. In some rare cases a puzzle may be impossible to "tweak" so that it validates and we must sadly reject these as well.

The puzzle validator that checks your puzzles before they are submitted is fairly relaxed regarding what puzzles are valid, accepting a few that actually are not valid at all. All puzzles that pass that first test will then have to go trough a much more thorough validation on our side - it is at this point that puzzles often get slightly changed in order to fully validate.
