  • Unclear how to play without explanation

    From 1 comment
    • Sorry, but no idea what I should do. Even after pressing "Reveal all". Are there a few 3 digits number hidden somewhere? Anyway, "Auto-Prop" should be closer to the checkbox.

  • Default auto-propagation to off

    From 1 comment
    • Thank you, gus. These are good ideas! I will try a default to auto-prop off. For the rest I will think more and consider ways to bring them. Appreciated! :)
