Code Example
// Get a hint for the current puzzle state.
// Solver runs in a separate worker thread and is therefore asynchronous,
// however it returns practically immediately.
const hint = await SudokuGen.hint({
grid: [
0, 4, 0, 0, 9, 0, 1, 3, 6,
0, 8, 0, 1, 4, 0, 5, 0, 0,

/* Optional array of known blocked/invalidated candidates */
blocked: [
[[1,2], [7]] // Example: User has ruled out candidate 7 in R1C2
]
});
// Returned hint contains detailed solving information
console.log(hint);
// Output:

technique: "Hidden Single",
hint: "There's only one possible position for 8 in column 6",
// The primary cell can be highlighted as a more direct hint,
// in this case the cell R1C6 containing the hidden single
primaryCells: [[1,6]],
// Secondary cells can be highlighted as a more subtle hint,
// in this case the cells forming the column containing the hidden single
secondaryCells: [[1,6], [2,6], [3,6], [4,6], [5,6], [6,6], [7,7], [8,6], [9,6]],
// The hint with lowest difficulty is returned by default
