  • If you have no errors, it will show you one possible new move
      The Illegal Move "Oops" Indicator
  • "Oops" appears in the puzzle if you make an "illegal move" i.e. if you place a number in a row or column or 3x3 section that already contains that number
  • Note that not having an Oops does not mean the move you are making is the right one to solve the puzzle - that would make things too easy !
  • "Oops" simply helps you avoid obvious mistakes by pointing out illegal moves
