Fun to logically try all possible solutions as I listen to an audio book.

Guess, Check, Undo to first error.
Shampoo, rinse, repeat.

Hitting the "Clear" button is faster than undoing 25 spaces

My most evil deed.

Welp I've never seen a puzzle with more solutions than squares! Evil yes, but brilliant!

Found to require lots of guessing by infrapinklizzard.

At least it wasn't a 99x99 puzzle where the number of answers would be 9.332622e+155. That number's a mere 10^75 times larger than the number of atoms in the universe.

So if we were somehow able to write a different solution on every atom of this universe, we'd only need 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 more universes to finish the job.

Most unfortunate. Whatever Al's comment was, I likely agree.

Why? Just why?

There is a way to minimize the number of guesses needed to complete this puzzle.
