Questions

How is difficulty determined?

Easy completes with naked singles. Medium also needs hidden singles. Hard needs up to five branching decisions; Expert needs more. This is the measured work of this solver, not a standardized human difficulty rating.

Are puzzles and progress uploaded?

No. Puzzles and solving run locally. Game progress and best times are saved only on this browser and never trigger homepage editor recovery.

Does the solver explain each step?

No. It reports actual validity and solution counts, without inventing solving explanations.
