I'll alwas get stuck at some point, without any more clues on what number/egg goes where. It is utterly frustrating, as I would often have several rows with only 2 numbers missing, but no way of exclusing any one of the two possibilities. I have no idea how this was made, but it is simply impossible to solve |

I have noticed that several of my Roodokus, while not unsolvable, are pretty hard I've had more than one come to a guessing game where logic has been at a total standstill Also fun fact about Sudokus: The minimum number of clues for a uniquely solvable puzzle is 17 total numbers. |

There is likely an algorithm that only creates solvable puzzles but it's also sort of random at the same time so it's easy to get unlucky with a more difficult one |

If it is truely unsolvable, I'll move this topic to the bugs section and notify Komodo about the issue here! Edit: I can confirm that the algorithm doesnt create any unsolvable ones. If you still think you encountered one, feel free to post it here. Someone will find the error for sure~ |
Takkju's Signature No, you are not allowed to do this! And no, don't even ask me if you are allowed to do this! | |

The fastest time I ever had, was 1 hour! and I even reset many-many time before I could finish that. But the one problem that I encountered was that even though I finished it more than 1 hour, it seems that I didn't get any coins. Even though the games said that I get 100 PixCoin for finishing the game > 20 mins. But until now, I still don't get the 100 PixCoin reward yet. |

If you are logged off after you solved the puzzle you will not get your PC reward. If your time is 20+ minutes remember to open new tabs so the site thinks you're active. |

I didn't bother learning them so I don't know how to solve it (SOLVE it not GUESS it, you could guess it but then it wouldn't be a puzzle anymore, that defeats the purpose) Look up sudoku tips and tricks or how to solve logjam sudoku if you want to learn it. Edit: Also...this is why I doubt people when they say they don't need annotation to solve sudokus...you literally need annotations to solve logjams...unless you can visualize annotations in your head which is more believable for me |

My strategy: I tend to check for numbers first -- so try to see if I can easily place 1; if I've exhausted that, check for 2s, etc., and then I try to go column-/row-/box-wise (depending on which have only one or two numbers missing), which has so far (excepting logjams, which I have not encountered/recognized yet) seemed like a pretty decent strategy. |
