My whole family has enjoyed it immensely... Thought about some improvements: 1) A print function to create archaic paper versions for the bus, plane, etc. (I don't own a laptop, sorry) 2) The ability to send created puzzles to friends & family. Thanks, and keep up the good work! Terrific widget! My whole family has enjoyed it immensely… Thought about some improvements:

My suggestion is to streamline the entry of numbers... currently when entering pencil marks its click number shift click cell. Its to slow. It should be more like using a spreadsheet- click cell then press a number or numbers for pencil marks. putting the final number should be when you use the shift (or caps lock). Since you usually do more pencil marks (at least i do) than the final number minimizes keystroke mouse clicks. Good job keep up the good work. Hi I’m using the mac widget version and i like it.

I've found that it helps (on paper versions) to pencil mark the numbers in the appropriate area of a number,like a telephone. i.e. The number 1 would always appear in the left top corner, the number 5 in the middle etc. therefore, you can glance at the box with pencil marks and not have to squint to read the TINY little numbers that you have penciled in. So, if you had penciled in one box the numbers 1 and 6, then they would not be beside each other, but 1 would be in the top left and 6 would be in middle right of box. Sorry for rambling, you get it, right? Thanks again for making the puzzle, it's going to help me pass the time on the plane tomorrow. Best, Brunson great widget, I’ve just got one suggestion for future versions, if you have the chance.

Da*n you for making Sudoku even more accessible ... ;) I second Eric's request of making auto pencil marks editable by the user. Either that, or auto pencil marks should take doubles and triples, in columns, rows, and blocks into account, and remove those doubles and triples from the other squares in the affected column, row, or block. But ,the logic to do that may require more resources than should be expended on auto pencil marks. Even the "ultimate", IMHO, "Sudoku Susser" does not take double and triples into account in its automatic "hints" (what SS calls auto pencil marking), when enabled, but, it does allow those hints to be edited by the user. And, it does take doubles and triples into account, when the user is really stuck, and invokes the "deduce" function, but, that function may take a while to come up with a result. I also agree that too much automation isn't in the spirit of Sudoku. If the user can't be bothered with looking through the squares to see if any only have one possibility remaining, perhaps the pursuit of tic-tac-toe would be less "stressful" ... ;) Cheers, CW 12:36:12 AM Tue, Jan 31, 2006 Nice widget!
