Still won't work on my screen

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/adaedd06.jpg

I sometimes have this issue with other NYT games, more so recently with Strands due to them plugging the family plan at the top of the screen. I scroll the screen up from a blank part of the screen (i.e., not within the game field) so that the bottom.part of the game screen is brought into view. Maybe doing that will help in your situation too?

I can't really scroll anything.

It seems the UI for my browser is blocking the bottom.

The easy puzzle was mostly me figuring out how the game worked because I skipped the tutorial. I guess I did okay for my first time.

Maybe it's just because it's my first of the day each time, and I'm not in the groove, but I swear the rotation is fiddlier and less responsive on Easy.

Having a set cookie time of 1 min on hard is pointless when they can get that large. I can't imagine more than a few being able to do it that fast.

Yup. I'm pretty sure that some of the recent ones have been so big that it so many dominoes can't be physically placed in under a minute anyway, without even factoring in the time taken to actually, you know, solve it.

The thing is that in the last few weeks the hard ones haven't actually felt harder, just bigger. Like, as an actual logic puzzle there have been a few times in the last week or so when I think Medium has been more challenging, but Hard has still taken longer because it's just huge, haha.

Well that's me told. It's like they heard our moaning, haha.

Honestly, they went too far in the other direction this time, after placing the few very obvious ones, it was just a matter of piling them in, didn't even look at half of them.

Yep. There were only 2 in the entire thing that could have been swapped if your purple total was off. It was almost all filler.
