I love Masyu!! But sometimes I accidently erase lines becuase I move my mouse too fast. I do not like this.

I like the Masyu puzzle, it's fun :)

Horse name Parsimony

I try to understand them, but mostly I fail. Sometime I will figure out that part I am missing and will be able to complete these puzzles.

Horse name Stopheles

Horse owner The Dan

I enjoy Masyu once in a while, but they get repetitive if I solve a lot of them.

Horse name Flaming Homer

Horse owner dementia1988

I am enjoying the Masyu puzzles although I'm still determining strategies for solving them. I hope that you add Filominos soon.

Horse name Glue Stick

Horse owner tlhinman

I like Masyu a lot and I'm pleased to see it on the site. I'm hoping you will add Fillomino or Ripple Effect soon.

Horse name Penny

Horse owner Alison

I love Masyu!

Horse name Urban Spaceman

The easier Masyu are too easy. Just follow the rules, fill in everything according to those rules and the puzzles solve themselves without me having to think. Follow the rules and the answer appears even if you have no understanding of it whatsoever. The hard ones are better, like mimic's recent 36x20 one where just using the rules doesn't give an instant solution as there are lots of possibilities left to puzzle over. I just got round to solving that and it was fun.

Horse name Lucky Strike

Horse owner Tristal

It is not my style, unfortunately. I prefer Kakuro, Akari and Nurikabe.

I didn't enjoy masyu puzzles when I first tried them on paper (in GAMES Magazine), but once I could experiment with them online, I found that I enjoy them very much! I don't like them as much as hashi (which I would like to see at Nikoli).

Horse name IronChef

Horse owner shaevel

This is a wonderful puzzle! Thanks so much for the excellent variety. ""Shikaku"" is probably my favorite right now, but ""heyawake"" and ""akari"" are excellent, too. I much prefer all of these to the more popular (at least in America) Sudoku and Kakuro. Thanks again for such a wonderful site.

Horse name Mister McPonypants

Horse owner Carolyn

You wanted to know what I think of Masyu, so here is what I think. I love Masyu! There are no numbers on the grid so it is easy for anyone to play. The rules are simple but powerful, so there are many possibilities! I don't get a headache playing Masyu. Puzzles can be challenging, but it is not too frustrating to figure it out when I am stuck!

Horse name Steed Demon

Horse owner Francis

I like Masyu pretty well. Would like Fillomino even better though! (^_^)

Horse name Out In Front

Horse owner Yvraine

What do I think about Masyu? I love it! I discovered it when I bought a bunch of Nikoli books a few years ago and I'm so happy you've included it on the website.

great

Horse name Zingaloo

Horse owner Stitch

I had seen the puzzle in various forms and was interested, but the rules were unclear. Once I saw in the Nikoli tutorial the exact nature of the rules, It bacame one of my three favorite kinds.

Horse name Gecklyn

Horse owner cris

I love the masyu puzzle. Thank you for adding it. Are we going to see hashi (bridges) someday? Thanks.

Horse name Pooper Buttercup

I enjoy the puzzle. Keep more of them coming!

Horse name Epona

I don't know why other horses enter my gate. :-(

Horse name JoeyJoeJoeJuniorShabadoo

Horse owner ZD

When a new puzzle is published, I am happiest to see that it is a masyu puzzle. This is a rich puzzle with many new tactics, despite there being so few rules. I like the hard puzzles more than the easy ones, and I do feel that I am getting better as I keep solving. One suggestion: is there any way to make long chains different colors? I often spend many seconds figuring out which ends should not connect because they belong to the same long chain. Thank you for masyu!

I am enjoying the Masyu puzzles very much. I hope that you will add more games from your Penpa Mix volumes as time goes on.

Horse name Mustang Sally

Gate number chosen at random--the only way to win. Masyu is the best puzzle.

Horse name Gambling Georgia

Horse owner Torch32

I think they are very good puzzles- very tempted to join- maybe I can win a free membership

Horse name Pegasus

Horse owner Bob

I like them a lot. I wish there were more of the large format puzzles, as the small ones are too easy. I would like to see yajilin (arrow ring) puzzles too.

Masyu is a great puzzle, and your online version works well. Keep 'em coming!

Horse name Demosthenes

Horse owner Wervyn

I was extremely excited when Nikoli announced they were going to start posting Masyu online. The flash app is practically flawless. Please make more.

Horse name Ferday Ferday Ferday

Horse owner Ferday

I love Masyu - it's a wonderful puzzle and it works well for both easy and hard designs. It's one of my favorite Nikoli puzzles, along with Shikaku, Fillomino, and Yajilin (hint hint).

Horse name HopAlongTed

Horse owner Jinnantonnix

I can never remember the rules, so I don't play it very often.

Horse name Barely Legal

Horse owner kekoa

Masyu is pretty fun, but I like Hitori more.

Horse name Dysons Sphere

Horse owner stigant

Masyu is lots of fun. I don't think that the difficulty levels correspond to difficulty levels of other puzzles very well yet. ie for me a ""Hard Masyu"" is probably about as difficult as a ""Medium Heyawake"" or a ""Medium Slitherlink"" etc, and I don't think this is because I'm particularly better at masyu. I hope you guys add a ""Spiral Galaxies"" puzzle sometime in the future, but of course, I look forward to any new additions.

Horse name Adam Sapple

Masyu... good idea, just can't get my head around them so far. I'll get there though... ^_^

Masyu is one of the best! Possibly my favorite after Heyawake.

Horse name Khartoum Violins

Horse owner Khartoum

I like your implementation of the Masyu puzzle. It's very intuitive (I basically do the puzzles by pencil in the exact same manner). I can't wait for additional puzzle types to be supported

I'm enjoying it- it has the simplicity and aesthetic of slitherlink, but with a different determinative mode.
