When using the hint facility, is there an explanation of how the hint was arrived at?

I'm afraid not at present. I can't think of an easy way of doing this, but it is on the list for further thought. The absolute ideal would be to generate images of the puzzle on the fly, with pencil marks and lines showing the logic ........

Hello, I have written a program. It will give you the explanation of the hint. In the worse case, it will give you a different hint than the program used by this site, but I don't think that this is important for you.
So, you could send me your position, I can send you back the explanation for the hint.
