Thanks for the explanation. I totally misunderstood the functionality of the validation.
I think that the language should be changed. Instead of saying "the puzzle is not valid," it should say that "there are errors in the solution provided" or something. Even "Validate" should be changed to something like "check progress" or "check solution."
I guess I gotta be more careful with my logic when solving. 10% error rate is too high...

PS - it's the only game on my device. I probably play 10 times/day and have for many months without getting bored. I like the interface and think it's a great app. Thanks!

I don't validate the games from the start so it's only been from played games that when I get stuck I check and they are indeed invalid. I just went in and tried validating new games and tested 12 times and it said that they were all valid. I don't have stats on how often I get invalid games, but it's fairly common. It feels like more than 10%. Sometimes I'll get a few in a row (and on harder levels, it's frustrating because it means I wasted a while before I discovered it was invalid).
My version of Android doesn't have a built-in screenshot. I tried installing a bunch and they had various problems. If I'm ever by a camera when it happens, I'll try to snap a photo of my phone.

I have Sudoku Free 9.2.1.4 for Android (which the Play store tells me is the most updated version) and I get invalid ones all the time. There's even a validate option in the menu that assures me that my puzzles are indeed invalid.

Why do I get so many invalid puzzles? I often get a few in a row. I don't want any invalid puzzles. Why can't I get it to give me only valid ones? Am I supposed to validate each puzzle when I open it? Can't it do that automatically?
