Hints

[solver]

I clicked on Hint, but nothing happened.

There's a bug I'm working on at the moment where the hint function may not work if you have only 1 or 2 empty or incorrect spots on the board... was that the case when this happened to you?

[solver]

I can't remember now. Sorry.

It always happens to me when there are no empty spaces. Sometimes when one or two open spaces. Please help us.

also, if you don't get a hint because you have only one or two squares to fill, it still counts against you as a hint...:-(

There has always had to be 3 empty spaces before you can get the hint function to work. It's been that way since I've started doing these acrostics. Usually, I just delete a letter to get a hint.

However, if the whole puzzle appears to be solved? It can be awful. You have no idea what letters to delete, because you honestly don't know what the mistake is.

Administration? I hope this helps answer your question.
