Solving Tips
- 1.
Cells that belong to hyper regions have more constraints than regular cells.
- 2.
Start solving with cells that are part of multiple regions (standard box + hyper region).
- 3.
Hyper regions overlap with standard boxes, creating powerful elimination opportunities.
- 4.
Use the extra constraints from hyper regions to eliminate possibilities much faster.
