Fun quiz, I like the innovative idea and decoding it.

I got most of it right (including the one I'm about to point out), but I have one question on one of the clues:

"The only country here that doesn't border any other of the countries is standing right of Russia"

This I assume refers to Australia which is on the left of Russia as we see it and Argentina which borders Brazil is right of it. Only way I can think of it is if you mean in the perspective of Russia if it is the opposite perspective to us, but the 'left part' of the grid for China seems to indicate our left is to be taken as left.

Otherwise very fun quiz just wanted some clarification on that

I like it :) It's challenging but doable and it's a new idea. The one change that I'd like to see would be to make all boxes of equal width, because as of now they're giving away the answers

I'm actually not sure if this is possible. When setting the design mode to "Manual" the option for "Equal Width Blocks" disappears and there's no other way to control the width of the cells.
