Comment 3 Albert Astals Cid 2021-12-27 18:00:06 UTC
the top left "piece" has two 8 and no 7, no? that is not a valid solution  as far as i understand.
Comment 4 Ian Wadham 2021-12-28 02:51:52 UTC
Albert is right. The numbers shown are not a valid solution to a Jigsaw type of puzzle.

But I think you might also be misunderstanding something about how to play KSudoku.

In your first screenshot you seem to have used the Check action. This is not for checking that you have solved a puzzle. The computer does that automatically while you are playing.

When you select a type of puzzle in KSudoku, you can use the buttons near the bottom of the screen EITHER to get the computer to generate a puzzle and then you try to solve it OR you can enter the clues for a puzzle that comes from somewhere else, such as a book or a newspaper. The Check action is used for the computer to check that what you have entered is a valid puzzle and has a unique solution. If the Check fails, it is often because you made an error when entering the data.

Most of the time, we get the computer to generate a puzzle and show you some clues, which are colored differently to the empty squares and cannot be changed. You then try to work out what to put in the empty squares. When you generate a puzzle, you can also choose the level of difficulty and the symmetry of the pattern of clues you will get.
