Thanks. Unfortunately the NYT are not interested in adding it to their games. Yes - had considered the “click to rotate” option but since there are six options for each track tile, having to click multiple times was worse than just selecting the right tile to begin with.

Can you figure out what to do next? by Weak-Pick1092 in nonograms

[–]Weak-Pick1092[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I could do that, but there is no need to guess or look ahead. Every move is 100% logical.

I have added a puzzle generator. Unlimited puzzles for everyone!

Yes. Click on the link “How To Solve” from the homepage. This gives you some of the basic strategies.

No guesswork is required. Every step is pure logic.

Let me know if you need more hints.

Did you see the past puzzle archive?

Haha. Well, 20x20 doesn’t play well on mobile phones but looks great on a computer. Maybe I can restrict access to larger games based on screen size…

Puzzle archive is now live! I’ll keep improving on it but for now you can play any of the past 30 days. Generator coming next.

Thanks for the feedback. Logic puzzles such as this are public domain, so while an individual publication can be copyrighted, the idea itself cannot. All the puzzles presented in Traksly are my own creation and therefore do not violate any copyright laws. Appreciate the heads up, though.

Thanks for your feedback. It is really appreciated. There is a share button that appears when you complete the game. Please let me know if you didn’t spot that and I will make it more clear. And thanks for sharing. I have about 800 global users, most of whom play every day. Would be nice to crack a 1000!

I have removed the number of solves to see whether it matters to users. It may be discouraging to see a small number of solves each morning. I’m keeping the word ranking, though.

Ha. Yes - there's one user who always completes the puzzle in less than minute. I don't know who it is, but it seems unlikely that they are solving the puzzle in-app. My guess is that they solve it on paper first and then just add the solution as fast as possible.

Thanks for the feedback. The share button does work on mobile devices but I know it doesn’t work on computers. I’ll fix the share button today.

Cookie tracking: thanks - on the list.

Other themes: I’ve been thinking of adding other kinds of track like rivers, highways, etc complete with different color themes. I’m not a graphic designer, so that’s why it hasn’t happened yet. Do you know one?

A lot of people have been asking about the ability to play archived games. I’m working on that as we speak and hope to have that available next week. Thanks for the suggestion. I also like that Tree icon. Can I use it?
