Puzzle Question: Global N.A.

We've got a fan who's stuck on a puzzle. :


"Global N.A. I've tried twice but can't get past this point. Is it solvable? Part of me says it must be, but the puzzle-doer in me is stumped here. If it is solvable, I'd love to know which row/column/square I need to look at next to move on."


Can anyone help them out?? Try to solve the puzzle and let me know how it goes!

Diane Baher, puzzle creator and author of Pic-a-Pix the Latest Puzzling Fix tells her story. 

"How did I get to this point in my life where I am creating these Japanese logic puzzles and now marketing my recently published book?  I guess you could say that I have always enjoyed activities that require logic of some form or other.  That’s probably why as a kid in school, math and science were notably my favourite subjects.  I think I am a visual person, preferring to eye witness the steps taken to solve something and appreciating them as I achieve a particular result.  When you think about it, this is basically what a jigsaw puzzle does.  You start with a pile of pieces; begin by doing the easy part – the border, then working with certain colored groups or visually unique pieces, and finishing the sky last.  It all comes together to form that beautiful picture because of your patience and efforts along the way.  This same process is utilized when you do one of my pic-a-pix puzzles.  From coming up with picture ideas, through the compilation of accurate number clues, to testing out my own puzzles, this is something I just thoroughly love to do.  You could even label it an addiction of sorts, but at best it is a healthy one."
