      1. have been enjoying Good Sudoku - the way I play it is I play on Pro and solve most of it and then I hit the hint button so it'll tell me where the Y Wing is

      I went off sudoku in university when a class assignment was to write a sudoku solver using a constraint satisfaction solver. something about being able to know how to mechanically resolve it took away the joy of doing it by hand.

    but Good Sudoku makes it more about the act of recognising patterns, and that can be nice

      hey, look at that! I recognised my first Y Wing without a hint!

        (fun how you recognise the rhythm of construction... late game, I'm stalled everywhere else, so it must be a Y Wing I'm missing. okay, once that's found, probably the only one, where's the thread that's loosened, I just need to pull on it to solve the whole thing)
