Aye, I had given up ! The post on the largest easy minimal puzzles promted me to do a suexrat......

At the time there was only one puzzle with a suexrat of 106, the next one had a rating of 86......
It seems somewhat obvious now - It might be that a puzzle with less room for an extra clue is easier to solve - eg the chameleon puzzles. These all have a suexrat of 47.
Looking at the data from the chameleon work you did, it does seem that the 106 rated puzzle has a low mutable clue count and also a high number of grid solutions ........
- Code: Select all
rating 106 ..........6...1352.5..436.1.1..579.....4.9..7..9.1..6...1..57.6.721..5...85.742.3
19 mutable clues 0,0,1,1,1,0,2,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,3,0,0,0,1,2,2,0,1,1,0,1,1,1,1,1
gridsols 5,7,2,2,9,*,5,8,2,7,5,*,*,2,9,2,4,*,4,5,5,7,2,3,6,*,2,2,5,2,4,2,2,2
there were some clues not represented........so not perfect...but it paved the way for more 35s to emerge
