The "hint" button will be disabled for only that puzzle

My bonus today was a sideways Friday 10 !

And no I don't think I will need a hint :)

My last one was a 10x10 (with which I have trouble in the non-bonus puzzles)......tried it 3 different ways and finally gave up as it was cutting into my NCAA TV time:)

I had that one quite recently!

Just had to dump another bonus puzzle after 1/2 hour.....too many unsolved ones lately.....sometimes I just feel like skipping the bonus puzzle and not even bothering to look at it as too much frrussstraattiiooon lately and .....probably could have spent more time on it but today is Monday and there is plenty to do (and a lot of time doing all the puzzles)

I have solved 843 bonus puzzles and have had 3 of that particular style.

I remember doing a particular, unusual 9 x 9 pattern bonus. I have seen that pattern twice.
I have felt that pattern was the hardest.

One usually has 3 or 4 days to do the bonus puzzle. I like getting it done right away as I think I have missed a bonus puzzle or two by trying to finish all the dailies and then forgetting that I had a bonus to do.

I think that was what happened this time.....too busy with life

I also do my bonus puzzles as soon as they become available. But I also check when I get within a few points of my next bonus puzzle, just to make sure. There was one occasion recently where there was a fairly tricky one and I decided to come back to it later. It was only when I did my last minute check that I realised I hadn’t completed it. I think I ended up solving two bonus puzzles in succession on that day.

I solved a bonus puzzle......a bit difficult but doable
