How is it an error if the square is blank?

[cosmicsloth]

When I check my puzzle for errors there are blanks that have not been addressed. I have not put in x or a green dot to indicate an answer. Yet when I check for errors sometimes these blank squares are counted as errors and reflect on my score. Anyone know why this is?

Hi cosmicsloth -

No, this should not happen - if it does occur again, please send me a screenshot of the full puzzle and let me know which exact empty square(s) were registered for penalties, so that I can try to replicate on my end and figure out what might be happening.

Also please let me know what browser and operating system you're using.

Thanks!
