I have a suggestion to ease your typing burden. When you start a puzzle, just ctrl+A and type in center pencil mark of 123456789 and your effort will reduce considerably as you dont have to type in 6 to 8 digits all over the grid. You certainly beat Mark Goodliffe in by a good mile in your pencil marking. Maybe the new term for goodliffing must be Franking!
Thank you for the suggestion! I don't ALWAYS mark all the digits in all cells, but it sometimes does help me to figure out possibilities. Do you think it's a bad thing to mark in a lot of digits?
To start with it's visually unappealing. Other than that for most people it will be confusing. It tends to not allow you to spot things like pairs or trips or quads. And it's a pain constantly having to remove pencil marks from cells when some digits is found somewhere in the grid.

@FrankPuzzles I think it's a really bad thing. 3 or 4 options at most and if it's really hard then max 5 digits. Not more than that.
@@cbnagesh Interesting. Why specifically do you think it's a really bad thing?

@@cbnagesh Thank you for the feedback! I'm not sure how much I'll change, but I'll keep what you say in mind. Thanks again!
