Labeled "hard" for the work, not the difficulty.
[1] - What?
Can I be the first to say "WHAT????"
[3] Apparently not.
Not hard, once you figure out what to do.
[1] I'll read that as not hard but tedious. :(
[6] No, not tedious...fun, but not obvious
what to do.
[7] how's about a hint?
Great artwork, but I don't get it.
Look at everything. Several things are identical on the map.
I got it with a guess. Good thing too - my printer is out of ink.
In fact, the key to this puzzle is all about those things.
fetry?
[10], thanks, that's what I needed
[11] - I ended up using Photoshop, but yeah, that or a printer.
Sigh, missed the rotation. I saw the basic premise right away, but missed a key detail. Oh well....
Wee that was fun!! Cool concept!
Amazing - solve by random guessing.
Interesting puzzle.
Interesting, yes, but I had some serious problems with alignment that ultimately reduced me to guessing with about half the letters in place.
Fun puzzle
Beautifully done.
[10] the lil islands that look like boots are identicle, so? Still makes no sence.
[23] thanks - very salty
Could someone give a hint about the concept? I see the five islands, one with an "x", but I do not see how these point to any meaningful letters.
[25] Look at the shape of the islands. Do you see anything else that looks the same? [16] gives you an important step.
[26] Thanks. I knew all those things, but didn't know what to make of them until I realized I could use a translucent napkin to solve this puzzle.
