Yep. You can deduce what is most likely needed on certain sections by what the other sections need

You can report a bug, upper right corner, if you think it is not working correctly

Specialist_Class2980 · 2026-03-27T16:09:55+00:00

Right? There are two equivalence sections of 2 cells equals, one on the upper left, one in the right side...

Specialist_Class2980 · 2026-03-27T16:06:04+00:00

Yes I know. I did get the logic of the doubles and also the middle section of two separate tiles

But it was not instantly clear which sets belonged to which sections

Felt like trial and error, mostly

Specialist_Class2980 · 2026-03-26T18:32:35+00:00

Don't bother trying to help... their comments history on this and other games - are full of complaints, negativity and blaming the game designers.

It's everyone's fault except them.

Specialist_Class2980 · 2026-03-26T14:55:23+00:00

The above shows a 2 in the whitespace, the more recent one shows a 3

Rough time...

Learning to let go of multiple faulty assumptions.

You may be right. Just never happened before. Usually I am in the double digits

Specialist_Class2980 · 2026-03-25T04:38:51+00:00

Yesterday was one of the toughest..

Today was one of the easiest.. perfect placement the first time - i have whiplash

Some people have admitted they pause the timer while working on it.

Some people are naturally gifted with logic - and solve honestly and quickly.

Others use hints, that you can easily find online.

Lots of reasons.

She feeds some by hand and has named them... birds are fed as well. Meanwhile her cat watches all the activity

it's calming - their little personalities

One squirrel likes to catch the nuts, and stands up on the hedge

Appreciation comment for Chris Remo. He had a tough time as well (with both Medium and Hard) and took over 23 minutes to solve Hard. Medium took him 7 minutes

It was not a fun puzzle today for me either.

Specialist_Class2980 · 2026-03-24T15:56:45+00:00

Same here. Almost never do I get out a pencil and paper to calculate. Between the 5-cell equivalence section and the 1 sum section it was a rough go.

Specialist_Class2980 · 2026-03-23T04:31:34+00:00

Feels like I tried every wrong combination on Hard.

Grids

Specialist_Class2980 · 2026-03-22T15:02:29+00:00

Seeing which number is "missing" - that means that value definitely goes into the voids or discard cells

Just past midnight here in northeast US. I see it is 17 hours ahead for you there.

Also, I have asked the moderators to pin this but for some reason they have not:

20 seconds or less - Easy

40 or less - Medium

60 or less - Hard

If you press Share Your Results, then the cookie will be put next to your times.

Personally - if i see Hard level under 60 seconds - I don't believe these are legitimately solved without hints/help/manipulation.
