Why do people make puzzles so much bigger than the solution. It is so annoying having to fill in so many blank squares that don't need to be there in the first place.

Rob - This doesn't fully answer your question, but, in case it's useful: If you leave the blank squares blank and click on "Save" and the rest of the puzzle is completed, the software will automatically fill in all of the dotted squares that are still blank.

Also, using the H and V keys to fill those horizontal and vertical lines quickly is a big help. Just hold the key down and sweep across :)

And sometimes a lot of white space around the image can frame or define it in certain ways

I use the H and V keys all the time. Makes it easier to fill in the blank spots.

Didn't know about the H and V thing. I'll try it!

Just don't hit one when you meant to hit the other. (Speaking from lots of experience undoing those mistakes.)

That's when it's auto-clicker-on-top-of-the-Undo-button time :)

Brings back muscle memories of calculator-racing in school.

You can also use the keyboard shortcut key Z for undo. That auto-repeats, so you can lean on Z to undo a lot of moves. You can also use R for Redo, and you can lean on R to redo a lot of moves quickly.

Yonah: What is calculator-racing?

But my auto-clicker is usually set for a click every 7 milliseconds. Speedy undo!

Hm. What is your auto-clicker? I wanted one very much for playing Insaniquarium (a fish-growing game that is long gone now, sigh....) but never got as far as looking up whether such a thing exists. Evidently it does!

I just use OP Auto Clicker 3.0. It's not as robust as some others but I don't need it to do much :)
