Country : India | Some minor things fixed - Link to number 15 was wrong, Quadruple rules look better with a clarification. |

Country : Australia | Thermo 6x6 is insanely difficult whilst all other 6x6 puzzles - after the break-in and careful deductions - quickly melt away. I've put 7 numbers in and I'm truly stuck - any hints? |

Country : India | chocchip37 - 2022-02-28 2:48 AMThermo 6x6 is insanely difficult whilst all other 6x6 puzzles - after the break-in and careful deductions - quickly melt away. I've put 7 numbers in and I'm truly stuck - any hints? Can you share where you are stuck (like a screenshot ), so it's easier to guide/provide the next step? |
