Wednesday puzzles are often disproportionately harder than you'd expect.

Having no zeroes always makes it a tricky start, but it carried on being difficult! I'll have a look at my old solver code later and see why it didn't think it was "very hard"...

I do have a new puzzle generator in the pipeline which will be a bit more realistic on difficulty (the old one misses a few easy patterns) and may even be able to generate some simple ones "on the fly" for new players, but it may be a month or two away yet as I don't have much time to work on it right now.
