Generator FAQ

Are these puzzles unique?

Yes. The generator only returns puzzles with exactly one valid solution. Anything else is thrown out before you see it.

How many clues does each difficulty have?

Easy puzzles start with 40–45 numbers. Medium 32–36. Hard 28–31. Expert 25–27. Evil drops to 22–24, near the practical lower limit for logical play.

Can I get the same puzzle twice?

Yes, if you use the same seed. The API accepts ?seed=12345 and returns the same puzzle every time.

Will the same difficulty always feel the same?

Mostly. The clue count is consistent, but a hard puzzle that needs an X-wing can feel harder than one that doesn't, even at the same level.
