I think you meant column and columns, not row(s) (for those who need mnemonics: Rows Run to the Right, Columns Climb)
I think whether to do that is a design choice, though. The current setup puts a penalty on clearing center columns early, effectively splitting the game in two.
- thehigherlife 4y agoYou are correct. I meant Columns. If you clear a column it the whole puzzle should shift left.
- quietbritishjim 4y agoEasier than a mnemonic is just remembering what real-life rows and columns are. A Roman column [1] pretty obviously has to be vertical or it wouldn't do its job of holding up a ceiling. And you get ducks in a row but they're not often stacked on top of each other.

- Someone 4y agoNon-native speakers may need some help (but likely only if their language isn’t Germanic or influenced by Latin. ‘Row’ is Germanic in origin, and I think Latin ‘columna’ made it into many languages)
- quchen 4y ago> Rows run, columns climb What a great mnemonic, I’ll start using it even though I typically don’t mix the two up! Thanks a lot.
