I've noticed that sometimes, if I use "check for errors" only once or twice, my score will still be listed under "without hints." What are the exact criteria for a score being listed under with or without hints?
What are the exact criteria for the "with hints" designation?

If you don't have any errors, we don't 'charge' you a hint.

I apologize for belaboring such an insignificant point, but now that I've started:
That doesn't answer my question. Because sometimes when I use "check for errors" and I DO have an error, my score will STILL be listed as "without hints." If you don't wish to disclose the criteria, I'm fine with that. I haven't figured out the rules of "without hints," but sometimes they seem to be applied inconsistently across different puzzles.

We do have a little of of 'wiggle room' built in to cover accidental reveals. I don't want to say exactly what it is, but your supposition is correct :-)
