spdepagn ncsu edu:
For what it's worth, I understand now what you were proposing... not
really something that gets rid of guessing altogether by checking puzzle
solvability, but something makes sure the user isn't punished if they are
forced to guess. :)

I'd probably support that a bit less than the method I suggested. If at
some point a puzzle requires a guess, rigging the answer so that the guess
can't fail seems like the unnatural thing to do...
