Thanks for showing this off!
I played through the daily puzzle:
1. It was really hard in dark mode to see what I was doing
2. Scanning was almost impossible without clicking and seeing the runs -- so it was mostly fully pencil mark and find pairs and triples.
Overall, unique, but I think some further constraints or human-setters (as you mentioned) could lead to more intuitive or clever paths to a solution.
(Perhaps instead of lines, shade the cells in the runs to avoid clutter with borders and writing over numbers)
- dhooper 2y agoI removed dark mode because it was too hard to make a dark color scheme that was as legible as light. the puzzle now shows all runs all the time.
- tener 2y agoLol and I wondered why it came back light after reload. It was really fun after you got past the UX hurdles! Pity there aren't more online.
- dhooper 2y agoNew puzzle every day! I have thousands queued up!
- tener 2y agoI appreciate the work you've put into this, but if someone gets into this they are likely to be looking for a next puzzle immediately. They are unlikely to become a recurring visitor; not with just a single puzzle a day. 5 or 10 might work better.
