Maybe there are more correct solutions. I think mine is correct also.

Every puzzle on Puzzlemix has one, unique solution. In this puzzle, everywhere there is an 'o' between two squares then the two squares must sum to an odd number. What this means in practice is that one must be odd and one must be even.

Oh, man. This one is pretty easy (no x-wings), but I failed to not make stupid mistakes (ending up with squares and no numbers left). So I needed several tries...

my solution is also correct, so no single unique solution

Every puzzle on Puzzlemix has a unique solution. In this puzzle the circles between squares indicate cells that sum to odd numbers. Without this rule then yes, you will find other solutions. Click "Instruxtions" at the top of this page for more details.

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'.
