make a mistake, click the mouse in the incorrect square and press
Space to clear it again (or use the Undo feature).
If you \e{right}-click in a square and then type a number, that
number will be entered in the square as a \q{pencil mark}. You can
have pencil marks for multiple numbers in the same square.
The game pays no attention to pencil marks, so exactly what you use
them for is up to you: you can use them as reminders that a
particular square needs to be re-examined once you know more about a
particular number, or you can use them as lists of the possible
numbers in a given square, or anything else you feel like.
To erase a single pencil mark, right-click in the square and type
the same number again.
All pencil marks in a square are erased when you left-click and type
a number, or when you left-click and press space. Right-clicking and
pressing space will also erase pencil marks.
