I don't think there is another solution, but if you save your puzzle in what you think is an alternative solution then I'll take a look. Or send a screenshot to gareth@puzzlemix.com.

I have a checker I wrote long ago for Nurikabe puzzles. It doesn't create them but it does solve them. There've been a lot of Nurikabe on puzzlemix (and elsewhere) without issue so it's probably the case that the software does work correctly - and so the puzzle is okay. Plus I solved it again too. So the most likely explanation is that your black squares were not all connected, or a region was not the correct size. :)

Key

  • 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'.
