+\dd Controls the difficulty of the generated puzzle. At Hard level,

+you are required to do deductions based on knowledge of

+\e{relationships} between squares rather than always being able to

+deduce the exact contents of one square at a time. (For example, you

+might know that two squares slant in the same direction, even if you

+don't yet know what that direction is, and this might enable you to

+deduce something about still other squares.) Even at Hard level,

+guesswork and backtracking should never be necessary.
