<p>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.</p></div>cletustweetstag:standalone.tenderapp.com,2010-01-29:Comment/340127072014-08-04T18:42:47Z2014-08-04T18:42:47ZWhat are the exact criteria for the "with hints" designation?<div><p>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 :-)</p>
