bergensbest Daily subscriber Completion time: 55:43 Used 'show invalid' Used 'show wrong moves'
What am I missing here? It seems to me that if we exchange the 4 and 3 in row 1, the 3 and 8 in row 4, and the 4 and 8 in row 9 then we still have a valid solution

Hi bergensbest, You can't swap the 3 and 8 in row 4 because they'd be in different jigsaw pieces, so you'd have two eights in the light blue shape and two 3s in the grey one. If you use the 'Show repeated digits' solving aid this will highlight these for you to make it clearer. Hope this helps!

A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
