This was fun to figure out! Nice job!
For today's daily puzzle, there are two solutions that give different rankings but are effectively the same in terms of moves. You can solve it with 3 taps 4 flips or 2 taps 5 filps. It's not clear why one solution is more efficient than the other since the first two taps or the first tap+flip cover the same amount of the board.
Perhaps a scoring system that was based more on how efficiently you cover the board would allow for different solutions to be equally valid?
- james_marks 2y agoThe scoring system gives 2 points for taps 1 for flips. Lowest score wins. Generally, the only time you'd be penalized for an "alternate" solution is when a flip adds a single tile, like you're describing. Any other scenario the flip is the most efficient way to solve the puzzle. One fun thing– because of this edge, you can occasionally "beat" the generator and solve a puzzle with a tap left over.
