If it told you how close you were then you could just brute force your way to a perfect score every board by trying each square.
I believe that’s the point. I had the optimal solution for some time but was convinced there was something better. Eventually I submitted, and seeing the perfect score was more thrilling after convincing myself I was an idiot.
