What would be interesting if you are prepared to do so would be that you comment in the appropriate thread (strategy) on the way you followed to extract them.

I did not open that game, so I have no idea on what I could have found applying my own strategy.

ronk is right, all of the puzzles I posted, where known to me before the game begun. The strategy here to find more puzzles only applies to this particular pattern (probably there are others): in the pattern

Code: Select all
                    . . X . . X . . X
                    . X . . X . . X .
                    X . . X . . X . .
                    . . X . . X . . X
                    . X . . . . . X .

                    . . X . . X . . X
                    . X . . X . . X .
                    X . . X . . X . .
if you delete any clue and add one clue at r5c5, you obtain a puzzle with the same pattern, that is the general idea I used to generate lots of hard puzzles, I did not mind about puzzles with ER<9, but I assume the vast majority of the puzzles in this pattern, are trumpable.

Hi Mauricio,

I think I got your point. When I have no constraint, I work preferably on the canonical form of a puzzle, which in that case leads to the same if i am right.
To be applied in blind mode to the game, it requests more care and a tool I don't have yet to morph back the puzzle. (I am working on priority on a serate clone for the time being).



Thanks again
