Hah...it's like the NYT was just waiting for you to update so they could immediately release a puzzle that makes your list out of date. 2025-10-28 hard has 166 724 solutions.

That's great! Your experience with the 2025-09-15 and 2025-10-14 puzzles was very similar to mine, I think. I'm impressed that you were able to get AI models to solve this game effectively. I coded it the old-fashioned way myself, mostly, with occasional help from Gemini Pro.
