Re: testing no-op puzzles
I noticed that when you use backspace or clear all cells it doesn't clear the operators. Also the "today" link didn't work for me initially although I went back now and it took me to today's puzzle, so maybe it gets you to the date that the page was loaded?

There must be some more unexpected glitches/missing functionality. The save function will not save the operators, for example.

Re: testing no-op puzzles
My plan now is to replace the Sunday subscriber puzzle (the 6x6 patterned) with a 6x6 (or larger?) "no-op" puzzle.
Any opinions on that?

Any opinions on that? Perfect, that novelty very welcome, at least we can fill part of the puzzle: a few operators, like multiplications or sums in the big results, ... .

Re: testing no-op puzzles
I would rather (see you experiment with) one of the difficult killers being replaced either on the Thurs, Fri, or Sat instead of the patterned 6x6.....reason being is that I can most of the time get the 6x6 but will probably never get one of these no-op puzzles......am sure many users are looking forward to these but which users would they be (the caliber of a clm or the caliber of a beaker?)

Re: testing no-op puzzles
I've only done one no-op so far. I think I solved it but got no program acknowledgement that I had done so. Hopefully any pertinent bugs will be ironed out before they're included in the regular rotation.

Any opinions on that? Good idea that this first no-op is "easy" (6x6 and "large" results). Btw, the "Clear all cells" feature cleans the cells but not the operators (this could be also interesting for this specific puzzle).
