Third attempt at the game. Easy to clear a column but everyone seemed to select the harder of two different ways.

Won on replay only but isn't as hard as the stats show. Tricky, yes! I originally moved the wrong red 6 and thought I'd blown it, but the first replay showed that didn't matter. Second replay was a matter of exposing the black 7 straight away and it more or less fell into place. Interesting game.

THIS game was very difficult, imo -- it took me way over an hour!

I doubt that any of the other 7 wins were on the "first" try (mine wasn't).  Although these days, all wins are on the 1st try, as replays are not being counted.

Well said.  The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem.   Check.  Now hopefully you can move further along the path.
