This is pretty much how I solve regular puzzles too. I can do most 5x5s in under 20 seconds. Too often did my debugging sessions devolve into puzzle marathons =).

Wrap variants are another story as they have no outer edges. Discovering which tile groups give initial clues there is pretty fun too (when the regular puzzles aren't much of a challenge any more).

This is why I suck at game development. Congratulations for getting it out the door!

I started in the top left corner and worked connections down from there. So far I have a solve yet to take over a minute.

Ya, the edge is key. So are hexes that have minimal possible positions.

I did my second 5 in 3:08 too. Which is weird.
