(1) to check my answers for puzzles-without-solutions;
(2) help me improve my solving ability;
(3) nudge me forward when I get stuck with a particular puzzle; and
(4) check Solution Count.
Today I solved a puzzle, checked my solution and found my solution missing in Solver's Solution Count. This suggests an obvious question: Solution Count isn't necessarily exhaustive, correct?
Solution Count is perfectly and 100% exhaustive, I can assure you. For low numbers of clues it can take a long time (and time out since server resources are throttled) and for multiple solution, it will bail at 500 solutions, since more are uninteresting

I have been using your ios app for quite sometime now. Due to IOS 12 upgrade, I am not able to use it. Can you upload a new version with 64 bit support for people who have purchased it earlier.

If you still have the app on your device, it should automatically update

I am at my wit's (such as it is) end having spent far too much time on this one.
It comes from Stefan Heine Killer Sudoku Hardcore #4.
If you can suggest an approach or another site where I might be able to solicit assistance, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you.

Yes I don’t have enough strategies for very hard Killer, I'm at about 50% at the moment, compared to 1/10,000 normal Sudoku
Sorry It could not be solved, but love to know how it can be solved logically

Thanks for the great games!!

Since the solver is a "step by step" solver I break down the moves into
- Strategy removes some candidates
- cells with one candidate left are changed into big numbers
- "show possibles" clears of candidates implied by that solved cell
Otherwise stuff would change too much for people to follow
