When you set the parameters, for example 4x7 grid size and "Challenging" difficulty, the next button you hit is "generate puzzle." Is the puzzle actually generated, in the sense of having a selection of names/attributes picked out from some big database and dropped into a set of viable clues, like a fill-in-the-blank situation? Or is there a bank of pre-made logic puzzles of each type, and it just randomly selects one for your parameters?
I feel like it's probably the second option, since I see people posting multiple comments on the same puzzle victory page (like "232s" in March 2019, and then a year later "220s" or whatever), which implies they've gotten the same puzzle, which implies a puzzle bank. But I'm not sure. If there is a puzzle bank, how many 4x7 "Challenging" puzzles are in it?
