okay bestie, so qqwing is a General Commands Manual situation, and it's literally the Sudoku plug you didn't know you needed. sit down, get a lil snack 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

qqwing — a tool for generating and solving Sudoku puzzles 🧩

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

qqwing --generate [OPTIONS...]
qqwing --solve [OPTIONS...]

like… that's it. that's the whole vibe. two modes, pick one, go off. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

qqwing is a Sudoku puzzle generator and solver, and she does both. here's what she's serving:

• Fast. it can solve 1000 puzzles in 1 second and generate 1000 puzzles in 25 seconds. one thousand!! in ONE second. no cap. 🔥
• Uses logic. it uses as many solve techniques as possible when solving puzzles rather than guessing. she's not out here guessing like the rest of them, she's thinking. 💅
• Rates puzzles. most generators don't give you any indication of how hard a Sudoku puzzle actually is. qqwing does. main character behavior tbh.
• Can print solve instructions. it tells you the exact steps that need to be taken to solve any puzzle. tutor energy, we love to see it. 🎀
• Customizable output style, including a CSV style that's easy to import into a database. yes ma'am, structured data. 💖
