Just for grins, I ran stats on most (but not all of the puzzles):

• Solution Counts Overview

  - Processed all 183 stored puzzles (61 dates × 3 difficulties) via target/
    release/count_solutions, saving raw results to gpt_5_codex/output/
    solution_counts.csv.
  - 131 puzzles (≈72%) have exactly one solution: easy 50, medium 44, hard 37.
  - Remaining puzzles show small clusters of alternatives except for a handful of
    hard cases with large branching factors.

(I only asked for the top five.)
