I am watching on that game to figure out whether it is worth trying to enter it.
One day and already nearly 50 entries with many puzzles having an ER over 9.
This is an entry barrier nearly impossible to overcome.
The best chance has a newcomer is likely to post one or two puzzle if he is lucky. As you write, reaching a positive result would be a good shot;

one technique is to wait for higher entries
and use them to seed searches for neighbors ...

in that specific case, JPF seems to have posted in the very beginning the full set of "high entries"
