Hi Darshan
I notice that the highlighting of the puzzle's border when entering possiblities has now been made lighter. That's an improvement, but it is still annoying and completely unnecessary. You know when you're putting in possibilities because you've ticked the possibilities box. So why the highlight? Please remove it.

Thank you
Megan

Hi Megan,

We recently added keyboard shortcuts to make it easier to navigate around the board (it's a common feature among sudoku games). One of the shortcuts is enabling possibilities mode via the space bar. Because the 'possibilities' checkbox is often below the screen, it is unclear just by looking at the board if you are in possibilities mode or not. That's why we added the outline - to indicate that a user is in possibilities mode, without them having to scroll down.

I understand it's not a change you are happy with, but hopefully the lighter color is a little less burdensome. We're trying to bring the game functionality to the same standard as other top sudoku games out there, because we want our sudoku site to grow in popularity; as part of that, we understand it may rub the existing community the wrong way, but it's a hard balancing act. I hope you understand.

This was by far the best sudoku site - yes, I do puzzles elsewhere - so these changes are not improvements. Most sites have no community at all, while this one has formed communities of people who now know each other in person, visiting from other continents.

Hi Darshan. Please check your list of 'evils'. Most of the ones I have found here are pretty easy.
