What counts as a strong Lights Out time?
Times vary a lot by player and by board, but here is a rough ladder to aim for:
| Just learning | Finishing at all is the win - do not watch the clock yet. |
|---|---|
| Casual player | A comfortable, unhurried solve, usually a couple of minutes. |
| Getting good | A quick solve with very few wasted moves. |
| Speed solver | Well under a minute on a friendly board - clean, decisive play. |
The fastest way to climb this board is not frantic clicking - it is making fewer, smarter moves so the clock barely ticks while you plan.
