Re: Difficult 9x9 Tuesday April 4th 2023
On the 4/18 9x9 difficult I got stuck and didn't take the time to try to get unstuck.

Re: Difficult 9x9 Tuesday April 4th 2023
I am curious as how Paul thought of today's (Tue May 2) diff 9 x 9.
I was harder than usual for me. I solved with about 2 hrs left on Tues. I was the 29th person to solve it.

I normally try to do each day’s puzzles on the day, but sometimes I just don’t have the time. I was away with a group of friends over the weekend and ran out of time. Sometimes, life gets in the way!
