Hi Gareth, Something seems to have gone wrong with puzzlemix on my tablet. The puzzles keep turning themselves off as soon as I enter a number. It seemed to sort itself out but is now doing it again. Can you help, please.

I'm sorry you're having problems. However I haven't changed the code for Puzzlemix for years, and I've never heard of that as a problem before, so I'm not sure what to say that can immediately help. Are you using an Android table or an iPad, or alternatively some other table such as a Windows one? And which browser are you using? The simplest thing to try would be switching browser, if you have another on your device, to see if that helps.
I have just checked the site myself on iOS and couldn't immediately reproduce this. Another thing that might be useful to know is does it happen on every puzzle, or just certain puzzle types - for example, if it only happens on those with a full 1 to 9 keypad that would be useful to know since maybe the browser is falsely thinking you are entering phone numbers or some such and is trying to be helpful. And is it always (for example) the second number you enter, or does it vary? What do you enter first before it happens?

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'.
