Request: Restart / Clear Board

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently there is no good way to restart a board

Sometimes you just want to start over with the same board

A clear board or restart feature would be nice

A workaround is to save a game as soon as you start it and then reload as 
needed. This is tedious and can often be forgotten.

This is already available by long pressing on the grid and selecting "Clear 
entire grid".

This action is clearly too well hidden! Would welcome suggestions on how to 
make it more obvious.

Ah yes, it does say you can long-press in a cell for more options in the 
instructions. It's only one line buried in a wall of text, however. Perhaps the 
"help" section should be reviewed and improved.

Or, there should be a tutorial mode which walks you through a 4x4 puzzle and 
prompts for all the features at some point during the solution.

I think as a grid action it should probably be on the menu? (as new 
game/save/etc are). I'd probably be tempted to have 'clear' on the long press 
instead, so that long presses are all 'cell-based' actions.

If you complete a puzzle (receive the Success! message), you can't restart that 
same puzzle. I'm not sure if this should be opened as a new issue or should be 
merged into this issue.

You can create a new issue for your latter observation. However I see no reason 
for restarting a puzzle which has just been solved.

Unfortunately the issue has not been verified explicitly by an independent 
tester.
