Hello, Penelope. I presume you have read the instructions......so after completing the initial stage of 'whiting' squares between digits that are the same and blacking out as a result if a white is in same row/column as this digit, I then colour in all squares which need to be considered. Then I look to see if blacking in a square cuts off any area, at corners, down the sides or because already 3 squares round a digit are blacked out. This move can also be extended to much greater areas possibly later on, as I sometimes forget you have to be able to access all white regions continuosly. One move often leads to another of course, but if not, since I can no longer keep several moves in my head, I use another colour to try and see what happens........ I don't know if this is what you want or will even help:)

Key

  • A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
  • Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
  • If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
  • Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
