Aux mark contrast improved (@Karoo). Thank you! **2023-10-29** @Random8 sent a cool puzzle showcasing numberless skewers. **2023-10-30** @Carrick22 shared a third, larger, Ore-dango! **2023-11-14** @OrangeTriangle reported a critical bug, now corrected - thank you! **2023-11-23** @Random8 expanded the original rules to include branching skewers, by making two puzzles! **2023-12-14** Partial support for extended skewer crossing, as straight lines, through empty cells, a suggestion by @XSheep. Please note you must draw the lines first and remove the cells after. Branching cannot occur outside cells (not supported). Puzzle added to demonstrate. **2024-04-12** :::puzzletters @PinkHoodie sent 1 classic plus 1 puzzle using variant ´´redactable´´! **2024-04-12** :::puzzletters @PinkHoodie sent 1 puzzle using variant ´´shade-square´´! **2024-07-01** Fixed a bug reported by @PinkHoodie on shaded tiles (cause: June collision upgrade) **2024-07-02** An edge-case noted by @PinkHoodie (who sent an excellent unit test) was fixed (cause: not accounting for skewerless numbers greater than one)
