Thanks to everyone for the advice. I was actually able to install it from the Toomky website.
And for those who've been playing the game, "Table wheat. Eat table wheat. Sticky sticky fun!"

Sorry I didn't post earlier. Probably won't download as I have enough of these, I think. Especially because I feel griddlers have high replayability unless you have a photographic memory or are ridiculously fast. If you have a few of these, and have other games you like too, you'll probably won't remember anything of the more complex puzzles when you nostalgically get the griddler bug next year, for example.
The IMPORTANT thing I wanted to add: I believe the specs are wrong and this will play on 32 bit machines. I have 4 of these from 8Floor, and 3 of them give me the standard "not a valid Win 32 application" error when I click on the game. Also, I have other Toomky games that do this. But I can play them all. If you get this error on a 32 bit machine, go to the game's folder, which will be in your Program Files folder, unless you purposely put it somewhere else like I do, either in a folder of it's own name or inside an 8Floor folder in a folder of the game's name. I forget what the installer does. since, as I said, I put mine somewhere else. Or you can just run a search for it.
. Also, it's not like they're are tons of 32 bit machines still running around, although they are still a significant few.
Also, it's clear by the fact that all of these games have outside borders on the screen (known as pillarboxing) that they were made in the time of the 4:3 ratio - nearly square - old CRT monitors that they have some age on them and were made in the days when 32 bit machines were much more prevalent. So, if you're using a 32 bit machine, don't be put off if these Toomky games, or someone on Steam, tell you that these require 64 bit machines. That may be for Steam, and it may be for Toomky advertsing, but they don't seem to be 64 bit only games, as folks are being told.
Happy gaming!

Oops! Sorry WR. As you could see, my intention was good. It seems that Toomky has changed the coding that directs you to the site, so that people with 32 bit machines are getting the not valid 32 bit application error, even though it's not true for the games itself. So, I'll just keep posting the "how" - the workaround - where it's warranted, and not post the more sensitive "why" part of the explanation, if that's acceptable. Thanks.

mediaman13,
I noted the difference in the way you posted Sundays comment, so didn't remove any of your comment as it was quite innocent looking.

I don't receive an email link so I can't download this.

This is a nice griddler, starts off very easy, by game 3 one has to think. Well, I have to! I prefer the games that fill in the xes when I complete the entered spaces, but this is still enjoyable. You can also "shop" for extras in this game.
Thanks again for a great game!

Downloaded and installed fine on Win10HomeX64. Oddly, with each of these 8floor nonogram games, on first launch after install the game window opens and closes and launches the "thanks for playing" Toomky page. It only happens that one time and from then on, launching the game works as it should. Strange! I have no explanation for it but just thought I'd mention it. Beyond that, the game looks similar to the last and plays the same. I enjoy this type of game so the abundance we've received recently is very much appreciated.
I wanted to wish everyone here a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year! Many thanks to the GGOTD team, the generous developers and publishers and, as always, Whiterabbit-uk for all you do here.

For some reason, the program will not install for me. It pops up the screen saying the game was successfully activated but never actually installs it. Has anyone else had the same problem? Does anyone have a solution? I generally love these Griddler games, so I'd really like to find a way to install it.

The usual solutions are to 1) try turning off realtime scanning in antivirus software, 2) run the GOTD setup.exe app with WIndows in Safe Mode. You can generally also install GOTD games in a sandbox or VM [Virtual Machine] or another PC / laptop that doesn't use your installed brand of antivirus software, and copy the installed game to your regular copy of Windows.
What's happening...
The software offered on GOTD is sometimes enclosed in a wrapper -- the actual setup file is encrypted inside of a separate app. When you run that app it checks with the GOTD site to make sure it's the day of the giveaway, then decrypts the giveaway's setup file, storing it in system RAM [memory] where it's then run. The reason for that is so the company giving the software away can limit the giveaway to just one day.
Now the wrapper itself is a relatively simple app -- it checks with GOTD to make sure the giveaway is live [i.e. wasn't last week], decrypts the setup file & runs it, and when that setup file ends or closes, it pops up the message that you see. It Does Not know if that setup was successful -- it just knows it started & then stopped. So in your case the game's setup app closed before the game was fully installed. There are many potential causes, but in the past 99.999% of the time it's due to antivirus / security software -- a false positive detection causes the AV software to terminate the program.

mike, very clear and concise explanation. A goal I don't always achieve, myself. lol. You might want to copy that and repost it - or some version of it - every so often. Well done!
Btw,"and copy the installed game to your regular copy of Windows" shhhhh! "nudge, nudge, wink, wink". :P
Btw, I'll say again, Google's version recaptcha is junk! Can't tell when to include a square that has just a TINY section of what's asked for, and, if it doesn't like your answer to it's often obscure question, it puts you through as much as a half a dozen screens before it will forgive you. Spygle! We will always be victims until we learn the value of curbing legal nonsense, breaking up near monopolies, and jailing CEOs of corporations that are involved in illegal acts. No more slap on the wrist fines! And no more club feds! Medium security, work, and mixed populations. Then CEOs won't take it lightly!
