KazuGivenstype
WHAT A PUZZLE WAS PRINTED WITH, read from its givens code: the printed cells, and for a Jigsaw its regions, for Sum Cages its cages, for More or Less its marks, for Towers its clues. Each kind writes them after the cells. The drawing, the play and the hint all read a puzzle through this.
