CrossMe Answers

Finally! I’ve gotten around to uploading the next 48 answers in the BUSHI set: BUSHI #3.289 – #3.336. Another surprise of today (or perhaps earlier this week because my tablet is 9 years old and takes a long time to update the apps?) The CrossMe Nonograms app updated! There’s more puzzles! Holy moly do I have my work cut out for me.

Having said that, all ANSWERS pages have been updated to reflect current numbers. I’m one more puzzle away from getting the next BUSHI set done, so I think I might do that and then circle around back to the 8 new ASHIGARU puzzles. There are 8 new puzzles for each level, so either way, it shouldn’t take long. After that I plan to get the final 12 BUSHI puzzles finished. Finally! I’m hoping in the next two weeks I can finally have both ASHIGARU and BUSHI fully completed and updated. It’s a silly thing in terms of the world but I’m proud of it.

Until next time!

Regular work has been INCREDIBLY busy the last few weeks. I’m still doing puzzles and I’m almost done with the new set of BUSHI puzzles; I just need to get the screenshots taken and uploaded. I’m just posting here to let you all know that I have NOT abandoned this project. I’m very much looking forward to when I can get the next batch up 🙂

Hi all,

I’ve got ahead and uploaded my answers for SHINOBI #4.49 – #4.96. I’ve had these ready to go for the last two weeks but of course life once again got in the way. My work-life balance is wildly unhealthy and I look forward to the day when I’m no longer working 70-hour work weeks.

You’ll notice that I’ve also updated the ANSWERS statistics – most notably, the BUSHI statistics. I have #3.289 – #3.336 solved but I still need to find the time to add them to the site. I’m currently working on the set after that, which is #3.337 – #3.384; they’re tough ones, even for BUSHI! I’m enjoying the challenge, though, and I’m looking forward to having a completely solved BUSHI.

As always, there is still a LOT to do with this site. Comments and suggestions are more than welcome; please feel free to use the form on the Contact page.

Until next time!

Hi all,

I’ve finished and uploaded BUSHI #3.241 – #3.288. I’ve also been working on a number of these puzzles lately; getting approved for Google AdSense (albeit, for such small earnings) has been wildly motivating. Life is extraordinarily busy lately so it’s tough to find the time to sit down and get things done but I already have two more updates ready to go soon. Keep an eye out for the next set of BUSHI puzzle solutions as well as another set of SHINOBI answers. I may even have a complete set of the next level as well in the pipeline.

Plenty of work still to do, and I will be updating all of the stats on the ANSWERS pages after I publish this post, so this is just a short update! You may even find some hints as to what should be coming up next 😉

After a very long time, CrossMe Answers has finally been accepted into the Google AdSense program! Wahoo!!! Hopefully soon some ads will be displaying on the site and I can finally start to get some revenue to cover the costs of running this site. Of course I’m not looking to turn a crazy profit, let’s be realistic. But the truth is that just paying for some premium plugins, SSL, the domain, and other hosting costs is adding up to a little more than I anticipated. I would like to buy some more plugins and maybe get a really nice theme but let’s see how this goes. I intend to reinvest all profits into the site.

In other news, I’ve also add ASHIGARU #2.385 – #2.388 which were part of the most recent CrossMe update (4 puzzles were added to levels 2-8.)  With the added motivation to do more work for this site, I’ve also completed a few more BUSHI puzzles but I won’t be adding those until the next set is fully complete. In the meantime, I think I’ll prepare the next SHINOBI update since I have a few completed sets there. My progress on everything can be found on the ANSWERS page and the subsequent sections.

Looking forward to getting the ads set up here. I know the Google positioning has been doing quite well and traffic has increased overall. I do think that this is the only up-to-date site devoted to CrossMe Nonograms so that makes me proud.

It’s been way longer than I ever anticipated but I’ve finally made an update, albeit, a fairly small one.

The CrossMe Nanograms app updated sometime in the last week or so and 8 new puzzles were added to each level. I’ve gone ahead and completed and added ASHIGARU #2.377 – #2.384.  For the ASHIGARU level, these were a little tricky! Took me maybe 30-45 minutes to finish the 8 new puzzles.

I’ve updated everything on the ANSWERS page to reflect the new updates (meaning the numbers are fixed.)

I do really need to get back to uploading but the work days have been very long (12 hours a day, 7 days a week) and doing low-level data entry work ‘just for fun’ doesn’t feel so great at 2AM. But I can promise you, I have not forgotten about CrossMe Answers! Nor have I given up on it… it’s just going to take a little more time than I ever imagined.

The time between updates was so long that I forgot I started to upload answers from SHINOBI. Oops! Hopefully soon I’ll find another time to sit down and get the next batch of 48 answers up.

Until next time!

Time flies, even during a pandemic I suppose. I finally created the SHINOBI page and added SHINOBI #4.1 – #4.48 so that’s good. I’ve done a few more BUSHI puzzles but not enough to get the next set uploaded. I also uploaded the overall ANSWERS page since some of those numbers needed to be updated. Got some back-end stuff done as well.

Gonna keep it quick and short today. Back to work!

It may have been a week but what a busy week it’s been!

I’ve added not one, not two, but THREE solution sets for BUSHI:

• BUSHI #3.97- #3.144
• BUSHI #3.145 – #3.192
• BUSHI #3.193 – #3.240

It may seem like a lot but looking through the app, it’s just another drop in the ocean; I still have quite a bit left to upload (and solve!)

I know I always say this but I’m hoping to get more and more of what I have up here and then I can start slowly working on the puzzles. I have a HUGE personal work task coming up and that’s going to be quite the undertaking, so I want to get as much foundation to this little project as I can. If I can get up all of my solved puzzles which is about another 600 or so, within the next month-ish, I think I’ll be satisfied.

As far as solving puzzles go, that will have to be in a very relaxed pace. I’m having trouble finding some sort of income generation for this and I’ve already put in close to $100. While it’s nice to do this, I really don’t want to LOSE money on it per se. Google keeps rejecting me so maybe I’ll start looking into other alternatives. I just want to find something that will ‘keep the lights on’ here; I’m not looking to really profit. If anybody reading this has any suggestions, please send me a message using the Contact form.

Another quick update! Got BUSHI #3.49 – #3.96 added and up. Felt some nice motivation today and had the time. I’m not sure that I’ll get the next section up tomorrow or not but let’s hope. It’s a busy day but there’s always ways to make time!

Happy (belated) New Year!

It sure took a while and life took some wacky turns the last month or so but I think I’m finally back to it. My personal workload is finally seeing a bit of a dip for a little bit of time and I was happy to be able to sit down and get started on uploading the BUSHI solutions.

BUSHI #3.1 – #3.42 is the newest addition to the site. As of this post, I’ve completed 269 of the 376 puzzles in that part of the app. It’s quite a bit to complete and I doubt I’ll finish all of them but I’ll get as many done as I can.

Until next time!
