My picture-grid puzzle rejects correct answers that differ from my drawing

A player fills the grid so that every number hint is satisfied, yet the game says wrong because the picture is not the one you stored. This entry explains what to compare instead, how to write the hints, and how an empty line is written.

Why this works

The rules of this puzzle are the hints, not your drawing. Comparing hints accepts every picture that obeys the rules, and flags the level when more than one exists.

When not to use it

Skip it when the point is to rebuild one exact picture, such as a memory game; compare cells there.
