Slig, I don't know how to reach you other than here. Today's hardest puzzle (#110 @ 2024-03-23) says that "Theodore's favorite player is Italian". The list comprises of the following players: Di Stefano (Argentina then Spain), Maradona (Argentina), Ronaldinho (Brazil), Ronaldo (Brazil or Portugal, depends on who the game speaks about), Rooney (England). That's roughly what I don't like with your implementation: the grids cannot be solved by themselves. Some external knowledge is required, and in this case, the knowledge is incorrect. Basically, the hint here should say: "Theodore's favorite player is <whoever the AI thinks is Italian>". |

I introduced this kind of feature in another custom made puzzles, such as one about blood types ("the universal donor is ...") and I got a lot of praise for it and I thought it could be extended to another themes. But I can see that it might be too broad and uninteresting. Will revise this.
