Subtract the 40 black squares = 185 total cells X 10 = 1850 achievable score If the puzzle author has used more black squares in a particular puzzle, the total achievable score for that puzzle is lower than a puzzle where the author has used less black squares.
Total achievable score is the cell total x 10 points per cell. Meaning, in each puzzle, the total achievable score will differ depending on how many black squares the author uses in each puzzle.
Hi, keep in mind bigger puzzles will have a higher achievable score.
