Auto-Solving The Puzzles
1 of 4: If you are playing the Easy game, you know about the bar that appears at the top of the screen that allows you to skip a puzzle. If you are playing in the Normal mode, you can still "auto solve" by switching to an Easy game before opening up a puzzle. (And vice versa for Easy game players who want to switch to Normal.)
2 of 4: Press F9 on your keyboard to bring up a line at the top of the screen. Press 3 keyboard keys at the same time: CTRL SHIFT E. The E at the beginning of the line of text indicates that you are in Easy Mode. Pressing F9 again removes the line.
3 of 4: Open up the puzzle and click on the bar to "auto solve" that puzzle.
4 of 4: To return to your earlier difficulty mode, repeat the F9 and CTRL+SHIFT+E keystrokes.
