  • There are three possible different colors: red, purple, or green
  • There are three possible different fill styles: open, filled, or striped
  • There are three possible different shapes: diamond, oval, or squiggle

Example Cards

1GOO = 1 Green Open Oval 3RFD = 3 Red Filled Diamonds 2PSS = 2 Purple Striped Squiggles

Setting up a puzzle.txt file

To set up a puzzle.txt all you need to do is go to the https://www.setgame.com/set/puzzle and using the formatting up above enter all the cards shown into a text file seperating them by a single space and saving the .txt in the same directory as the executable. Additonally you can also do four in a line and go to the next line to make the text representations of the cards match with the layout on the webiste. Then load the puzzle.txt as a puzzle of a specified name and use the solve command to solve the puzzle.
