Feedback and Questions

Thank you so much for putting together such fantastic strategies for people to learn and play difficult Sudoku puzzles.

I often upload a Diabolical 30 Day Sudoku Archive puzzle (on every Friday and Saturday) to the Solver to learn and practice. Oftentimes, I got stuck as the puzzle would contain the Extreme AIC strategy.

I was wondering if you could consider putting these Diabolical puzzles that would contain AICs to Extreme puzzles (on every Sunday)?

Thank you for your consideration!

Is there a Stump the Solver prize available :)
This was a first for me using the solver. It reports just one possible solution but has no further possible steps.
I resorted to trying 2,4 in e9, 2 is the solution.
Thanks for the great solver!

Solution count gives this:
Server side component has not been built for this Jigsaw pattern.
Worked before.

One suggestion. It should be possible to remove numbers from edit mode.
For example. If in cell are numbers 1,5,6 and 7 and it is obvious that 5 and 7 can't be there it is not possible to remove them. To be correct, one can remove but they comes back.

All of these refers to Jigsaw

Trying to fill in the blank Sudoku solver, the cursor does not move over to the next cell. I have to use the right arrow on the keyboard.

all was well earlier in the week.....thanks.

This solver can tell me what techniques to use and even choose which techniques not to use, which is really great!

But there are still some things I hope to change.

For example, I can't unselect the first six techniques, it uses them by default. (Actually, there are seven, because Naked Single is also a skill, for humans.)

There are some techniques that I don't like very much because they are a waste of time to use in actual combat (difficult to observe).

Techniques like Naked Quads and Hidden Quads, I rarely use them in actual combat.

Also, I would like to rank the techniques, some of which I would like to be first and some of which I would like to be last. (For example, I would use Hidden Singles, Pointing Pairs first, then Naked Singles, Box/Line Reduction, then Naked Pairs/Triples, and finally Hidden Pairs/Triples)

Regardless, this is still a great solver and website!

Thank you for everything.

Could I make a suggestion for a UI improvement? When I enter the original puzzle to get started, on an iPad, I find it frustrating to have to press the number-shift every single time I need to type a digit. Numeric entry doesn’t even stay selected in moving to next cell. I believe it’s possible to pop up a numeric keyboard by default (this is my experience when I’m prompted for bank cards, for example).

For the last 2 weeks, when i press the key to Print the puzzle all I get is a sheet with the row and column numbers- NO Puzzle. I have to Print the Screen and Paste it in WORD. What happened?
Thanks

Followup:
Actually, I just saw, that the puzzle on the main page is ok, it is only the solver, falsely drawing the 'funny shaped box' (I used the word 'cage' before, that was not what I meant).

Its not possible to reach your Main Page - ASPX 500 Error.

There seems to be a problem printing out The Daily Sudoku. Before, if you clicked on any of the Daily Sudokus, the Print Dialog would automatically open. Now it loads the puzzle into the Solver, where one can click on 'Printable Version'. However, the Printable Version is always the same, that is, the latest puzzle.
