If you look at the highlighted cell, it can only be 9 horizontal and simultaneously it can only be 7 vertical - and those row/column don't have any of my (potentially wrong) numbers in them!

Seems that the hints are about as reliable as my own figuring out...

if i remember correctly, if you fill in some boxes incorrectly and then use the hint option, it won't correct your wrong answers and will instead give you wrong hints.

i plugged in the starting blue numbers into a solver, and uh. if you started from the middle section, it looks like you wrote yourself into a bit of a problem :x

Huh, it could've warned a chap? Besides, how am I to know if my part-solution is right or not? :/

That's not a "partially finished" puzzle, actually, it's a "partially undone after having an incompatible last few" puzzle. But, yes, it's the middle that keeps getting mucked up - I've re-done it using elimination method and also got something wrong in the middle within 5 moves (as indicated by a solver's results).

i went digging for the original problems/bugs thread i remembered just to make sure i was telling you the correct info -- Unwinnable Subeku??

& yeah, the hint system doesn't "know" to ignore any wrong answers (i think it should have some kind of warning but that's more of a suggestion, not a bug) but! you can use the check button to see any wrong answers as much as you want! which is not something i remembered when i saw your thread earlier

If you get stuck and need to use hints, you should first click the "check" button to see if there are any current errors. First fix, or erase any "red" results, then use the hints. You can use the check button as often as you need.

The thing is, it can't check the answer is right. It can only check if the answer currently clashes, as far as I can see - and if it doesn't (yet), there are no red results to clear :D

Since this isn't actually a bug I'm going to go ahead and lock the thread. I totally agree that a warning or note someplace on the page would be helpful -- and you're more than welcome to make a thread in Suggestions & Ideas to see if it's something they would add. :)
