Considering quitting pips
Lately the hard puzzles (and sometimes even medium) make me feel less clever and more like an antiquated sorting algorithm that just tries various pip combinations until something works.
These puzzles should require critical thinking. There should be at least one space that can be solved without any ambiguity, which should reveal another space, and another, etc. Instead, the only way to solve recent puzzles has been guessing and checking.
Very let down lately by the recent puzzles in this regard and will likely stop doing them if this keeps up. Anyone else feel the same?
