Using Hints

When and how to use hints effectively

Hints can help you learn and progress when you're stuck.

Understanding the Concept

Hints are assistance features that help you when you can't find the next move.

Types of hints include: showing a correct number, highlighting errors, or revealing techniques.

Use hints sparingly - they're learning tools, not crutches.

Before using a hint, try to understand why you're stuck.

After using a hint, analyze why that was the correct move.

Some players prefer never using hints for the satisfaction of solving independently.

Pro Tips

  • Try for at least 5-10 minutes before using a hint
  • Use hints to learn new techniques
  • Gradually reduce hint usage as you improve
  • Consider hints as teachers, not shortcuts
