Puzzle Description:

Dalmatian puppies

inspired by Yonah's puzzle of the same name. I *could* have gone back and shifted every pixel one space to the left, but I couldn't be bothered.

Now that I mention it, though...

oops! I forgot to publish this one!

(You probably know this, but if you want to shift every pixel one space to the left, there is a key in the puzzle editor that will do it with a single keypress. Just to give you more options -- this puzzle is adorable the way it is!)

I'm really enjoying your puzzles! Thanks!

oh sure, now you tell me![Valerie] X-D

I'm even more impressed with your puzzle-creation abilities if you've never used those, Kristen!

It's easy, with small puzzles. I pull up the old puzzle, start a new one, and copy the pixels over line by line (going back to make corrections when I count wrong)

Love the puzzle - although I much prefer the book, where there are only 97 puppies (and four adult dogs).

Lovely!
#10: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Sep 3, 2026
oh, I had no idea! Who were the other two adults?

There was a female liver-spotted dalmatian called Perdita, who was adopted by the Dearlys after she lost her puppies and her husband. The puppies were part of the 97, and in the final chapter Perdita is reunited with her long-lost husband, Prince, who is the 101st Dalmatian.
It's a wonderful book, well worth reading.

Super cute puzzle KV.

When starting a new puzzle, I often use an oversized grid then inch it over left and up to the correct position and save the correct size. If you are using blots, this trick doesn't work.

I had no idea you could inch over a puzzle. Man, that will come in handy for the next one I create.

One of these days I need to add mouseover descriptions for the icons in the puzzle editor. They can do all kinds of cool things!

Steve -- I had no idea that it was a book. I only knew about the movie. Neat!
