I'm not very familiar with Doraemon but I have a Real soft spot for him since I grew up with a plush toy as a kid

replyHonestly speaking, this crossword is really difficult, unless you use the condition "every crossword has one and only one solution on this site". The reason is as follows: the distributions of color tiles in all rows are symmetrical, so the whole image must be symmetrical. Otherwise, flip the image horizontally, and you will get a different valid solution, which contradicts the abovementioned condition. Try solving this crossword without using symmetry!

I solved this crossword without using any symmetry or guessing, and without assuming there was a single solution. Just the usual logical techniques.

Here's what I did:
1. First, it's trivial to do all red squares by themselves.
2. Some squares lower middle below red can be filled in, especially 9/4-4/9 across blue
3. Some blues on the sides
4. Upper center column with blue 6
5. Complete bottom 8 rows
6. Complete rows 7-9
7. Blue whiskers and top of head
8. Black 6 in leftmost and rightmost columns
9. Straightforward after that
