Thanks. I’ve just wasted 2 hours.

Loved the game.

To make it generate winnable games just start from a solution and keep expanding it until you get to the initial game state.

Glad you enjoyed!

Could you elaborate on 'start from a solution and keep expanding it'? I thought of it more like checking the field for certain patterns that tell if it can't be solved and generating fields until one passes that check.
