In Scrabble .... Are you counting the number of letters or number words?
We expect number of letters.
if you are counting number of letters, and still getting wrong mark, can I ask you to send your solution (a photo) to logicmasteradmin@gmail.com ?

... Is there a way to abandon a solve that you just don't think you'll ever complete? I couldn't find a way to move on and try a different one, so I was stuck using my entire day's time banging my head against a faulty bit of logic.
Like previous years, there is time limit this year too. Once you start a puzzle X, you can't start another puzzle Y until you submit X or one hour is over, whichever is earlier. So 2 (and more) puzzles can be started together. But you have to wait for 1 hour or submit the first puzzle correctly.
It was not clear last year that you actually have to reload the submission page. We have added a "Refresh Status" button for this purpose. |

Please take a note.

1. The clues indicate the number of cells connected in the white region.
2. Don't start the puzzle if you just understood the rules.
3. See LMD link for practice puzzles. Solve couple of them first. |

The printing on the mini coral sucked. The middle lines were so light that my printer isn't printing them at all on draft mode, which never happened before on any of the contests I have done previously.
How did you guys get started on the Heyawake? I ended up doing quite a bit of trial and error before finding a contradiction that I could work with. As usual, I am completely lost on the scrabble. Any tips on how to do that kind of puzzle is welcome. |

The printing on the mini coral sucked. The middle lines were so light that my printer isn't printing them at all on draft mode, which never happened before on any of the contests I have done previously. The lines dividing the cells into quarters were meant only for flood-fill. But now that you mentioned, it is not a bad idea to have them little darker.
Had you printed the practice puzzles from LMD? |

Location: Canada | Seeing that the puzzles on LMD do not have the middle lines to begin with, I failed to see the point. |
| |
|
Location: India | Sorry I was probably not clear.
I just meant if you had printed and solved them. You would have faced the same problem while doing those practice puzzles.
Anyway, I guess the bottom line is, it wouldn't have been harmful to have them little darker. |
