Research direction

Start by reproducing the Hexcells level v1 grid included in the issue and determine whether the failure occurs during image recognition or solving. Compare the OCR-error example with the grid that shows no error but has no solution; done means identifying the cause and confirming that the affected hard puzzles can be solved correctly.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Example here : (here it's an OCR error, but I found a grid where no error is displayed, and no solution, more examples on demand). This app is amazing, feel free if you what example to debug it :)
