Title:
  Gnome-sudoku 2.30.0 (and previous) has very inaccurate difficulty
  ratings

Status in “gnome-games” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I only play the "very hard" games, but some are actually quite easy.
  I'm attaching a screen shot of one, with all hints shown.  You should
  notice that there are already 2 boxes solved on row 3, and if you play
  through, you'll always find one or more such boxes at every step of
  the way.  This is not hard at all; it's mere bookkeeping. Of course,
  some are truly hard.  Your algorithms should do a better job of
  telling which is which.
