Very nice set of puzzles, all of them had very nice logical steps. It was difficult to choose a favorite from Diagonal, Thermo and Arrow. Thanks for the test Kumaresan. |

Thanks for asking this question.
Yes. The waiting time will not be long normally, but it is not going to be instant approval either - at this point of time. We are reviewing the registration process and decide if this step can be done away with in future. This step was introduced recently as there were too many spams from bot accounts during 2017-2018. |

Did you miss the start where adding the maximum possibilities for all the arrow cells for the three arrows at the top, and those at the bottom gives a nice start. |

There were some very interesting new ideas for otherwise familiar puzzle types. I have not seen this author before and I commend the author for doing such nice work! |
