Griddlers Solver is a freeware application designed for solving paint by numbers puzzles. Provides several easy-to-use features including undo, zooming, highlighting and temporary might-be values used for advanced techniques. Also offers a powerful and very quick solving engine that works like humans do and can be used for small hints as well as for watching the solving process as a video. The package also includes many user-made griddlers of all difficulty and complexity levels.
Easy-to-use comfortable interface
Compact interface uses most of the window space for the main puzzle. The Grid is usually large enough for solving even on smaller displays. Each opened puzzle is automatically fitted and centered to the Actual Window size, but can also be zoomed in or out, resized or scrolled.
Besides the grid, the main window includes only a small toolbar and a statusbar, providing as much space for the puzzle as possible. The entire solving and navigation can be done by mouse and all instruments are placed in a way to simplify and ease the puzzling.
To access menu items quickly, nearly each menu item has its Keyboard Shortcut (HotKey).
Powerful and quick auto-solver
Upon difficulties with solving, there is always a ready-to-use auto-solver, which works the same way as humans do. Its hints are always logical steps in the solution. It never gives a hint that can not be discovered at the current state of the solving process. This is very useful, when you have no idea where to continue. The auto-solver will help you find the spot.
While the auto-solver works in steps, you may also let it run in a loop and watch the entire solving process in a quick movie.
The andvanced auto-solver is able to solve all griddlers included in the package. However, it should be able to solve any griddler that is also solvable by a human. This entire project was started mainly to implement an all-solving machine, and it was quite sucessful.
