01 / THE GUIDE
Mastering Clue Interpretation
Compare a 5×5 puzzle with dense clues to a sparse 10×10 grid. Note how clue density influences the number of forced fills and how quickly you can deduce sections.
- Start by filling rows or columns with clues that match the grid size.
- Use Undo to experiment with tentative placements.
02 / THE GUIDE
Efficient Use of Undo
Play a medium‑size puzzle, deliberately make a wrong placement, then use Undo. Observe how quickly you can revert without losing overall progress.
- Test your level in the editor before publishing.
- Explore popular workshop levels for design inspiration.
03 / THE GUIDE
Designing Balanced Levels
Create two custom puzzles: one with many small clues and another with few large clues. Test each for difficulty and adjust to achieve a single logical solution.
- Pick a high‑contrast color for clearer visibility.
