@M&A How about a puzzle with the names of your test solvers in it? Getting your name in a runtpuz doesn't have quite the status of getting it in a NYT puzzle but it is better than total anonymity.

@Bob. Not sure what happened. Let me know if it happens again. But if nothing happens with Check Solution, try hitting Check Solution again rather than hitting random keys.
I guess so. Actually, I thought my grid was complete and correct, and when I tried hitting the Check Solution button, nothing happened. So I clicked on it three or four more times before going back and hitting those random keys. You know, just trying to get its attention! ;>)
