What commenters are saying
Commenters mostly appreciated the site, with many recommending Simon Tatham's puzzle collection as a similar ad-free alternative. Some users criticized the Nonograms for being symmetrical or AI-generated, and one commenter spotted an invalid Sudoku. Others discussed technical issues like Tor blocking and browser compatibility, which were addressed. A few users shared their own ad-free puzzle projects.
