4:33 am
MrOoijer

4:38 am
MrOoijer

what are "greenies"? how do you "mark"?
5:32 am
lawfully
you usually use it to mark possible numbers
5:32 am
lawfully
and you use red numbers to mark that that's impossible
5:32 am
lawfully
but you usually need either one of them

franebrown - hold down the shift key and the number you want in green
5:33 am

i've never used reds - found they confused me!
5:35 am
franebrown
i just got a green, how a red and/or why? thanx for your speedy answer btw.
6:01 am
franebrown
Again, can someone answer how to mark in red? Or does it just appear when it is a duplicate, etc?

Sarah Bellum
sorry for late answer, I only just arrived
6:06 am
franebrown
Thanks Sarah. Now my final question: when green vs red?
6:13 am
Sarah Bellum
you're asking the wrong person. I've never used red :D
6:15 am
franebrown
I got my answer by going to help: green is for potential numbers and red for definite nots.
6:15 am
Sarah Bellum
oh, sorry, I didn't think that was what you were asking. I only use possibles, not definitely nots.
6:17 am
franebrown
thanx again for speedy reply. today's is a toughy for me.
6:17 am

no probs

VITAMAN
finished......several matched pairs makes this one fairly easy...able to eliminate many numbers quickly.....i use both green and red, but instead of using red to eliminate numbers, i use red for matching pairs or if only 2 spaces are possible in a row, column, or box. that way a red h3as a 50-50 chance of being correct...this helps me finish very quickly. hope this helps . :)
9:26 am
Edonia
I do the same vitaman and I find that it helps me also.

chebuctonian
3 on top, 3 at the bottom... same idea... solved 7 squares all at once, and from there it was a breeze. there's very likely a much easier way to solve the puzzle, but that's what I stumbled upon :)

I am new to this game.What are the greens and reds mean?

Arturion
If you hold Shift or Ctrl and click, you can place small green numbers to help you see the possibilities, without committing to a number. Alt-click does red numbers.
