   I’ve never done Hanjie before, ordinary or otherwise, so I wouldn’t/don’t know what the rules are. Could you provide them when you provide the puzzle (like you do with Samurai Sudoku) so I’ll know what I’m expected to do?

   Thanks

   I don’t know why, but the solution file is not downloadable. Is it my problem or is it for everyone? 🙁

   Val, an introduction can be found here:

   I suggest you to try with other, smaller Hanjies that can be found in the Hanjie category: http://www.djapedjape.com/category/picross/

   Enjoy!

   My solutions never look like the picture anyway, so I’m happy with the computer-generated ones

   Late to the party, but I disagree with Christine. The beauty of Hanjie is that the grid forms a picture at the end. However, the beauty is lost here with a random pattern that means nothing. If you want random patterns, go to a site that specializes in that. There’s no need to stoop to what I consider such a low level here. Having random patterns removes the beauty of the puzzle.
