Enjoy playing Kakuro with SourGumdropK and discover new methods.
Finish that puzzle that's got you stumped - just enter the clues and
use SourGumdropK to guide you past the problem.
* An easily-used puzzle solving interface
* Continuously updated combination lists for all clues
* Hints for fifteen solving methods
* Error checking
* Undo mechanism
* Built-in puzzles
* Puzzle input methods
* Difficulty ratings
Powerful but simple user interface
The user inteface minimises the effort required to work on puzzles and
lets you concentrate on finding the solution. For example, at any time
a single mouse click will pop-up the possible combinations for any row
or column. And they are always up to date, so you don't have to remember
them or use tables.
You can colour cells and candidates to help identify
patterns. Inconsistent or incorrect answers can be shown as you set
them and all moves can be undone. The solution for a single cell or
the whole puzzle can be shown at any stage. You can select the hint
which is easiest to understand or the one which removes the most
candidates.
Hint algorithms
Simple Filter, Impossible Combinations, Unique intersections,
Candidate Bounds, Unique candidates, Possible Permutations, Isolated
Necks, Hidden Singles, Hidden Pairs, Hidden Triples, Naked Pairs,
Naked Triples, Naked Quads, Xwing
Internal and external puzzles
SourGumdropK's built-in puzzles are given a difficulty rating depending
on the algorithms required in their solution and puzzles can be
selected based on their difficulty.
Puzzles can be read from files or entered via a built-in editor.
SourGumdropK can solve all puzzles. Entered puzzles are checked for
internal consistency and for having a single solution.
The appearance of the program can be set using a configuration
option. The Python source code is included.

Minestein is a Minesweeper game that has puzzles which can be solved entirely by logic. It ha a two stage hint system and can provide puzzles with a minimum difficulty rating as measured in 3BV scores. The source code is included. It can also provide random puzzles like traditional Minesweeper games.
Configurable options
Users can set:
the grid size
the number of mines
the minimum 3BV score
select sets of standard puzzles
to use puzzles that can be solved by logic
to use puzzles that require guessing
which algorithms are used to create the puzzles and provide hints
Toolbar
The toolbar includes buttons to request a hint.
The first click identifies a logically solvable cell.
Then a second click sets the answer for the cell if the user cannot work out the solution.
The toolbar also has buttons to provide the answer for a cell or the whole grid, and to start a new game
