What the solver can tell you

It distinguishes an invalid board, no solution, more than one solution, a unique solution, and a search that has not finished. A unique answer stays hidden until you choose to reveal it. A hint is offered only when a supported logical rule explains a step.

Screenshot support

Best results come from upright, evenly spaced square grids with flat, visibly different region colors. Choose the grid size, crop tightly to the board and check the prefilled regions. Similar colors, heavy markings, shadows or missing edges can confuse sampling. Edit regions and marks manually before solving. No particular third-party app or screenshot style is guaranteed.
