Incorrectly took wrong grid as correct

Open davidmarchand opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

I was solving this minimally Schrödinger puzzle (and doing somewhat poorly at it) and Crosshare gave me the win when I filled the grid, despite the fact that I got several words completely wrong.

If I fill the grid with random nonsense it correctly withholds the win, but if I reproduce my wrong play it gives me the win every time. These are the two solutions (the only difference is 74A):

Solution1

Solution2

And this is my wrong grid (22A and 12D are wrong, for example):

WrongGrid

I seem to be able to put just about anything instead of SEPAN on the empty cells and it gives me the win anyway, including XXPEN.

Thanks for the detailed write-up! Looks like something is wrong with the solution validation code - I'll try to give it a look ASAP

I have identified the issue and fixed it in a local branch. Unfortunately I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to get a deploy out with the fix but will try ASAP. Thanks again for the report!

No worries! It was just fun to catch and reproduce. Thanks for the quick response.
