Yeah, link seems broken. I also finished it and solution code doesn't work

Anybody else having issues with the solution code? Entered the finished grid in the new link with solution to confirm I got it right

Are all black dots given or it is something for the solver to figure out?!

I saw you posted a third (?) puzzle of this series and knew it will be good fun. Thanks for creating these! 2 stars IMO

Great puzzle, challenging but fair. For future puzzles, I suggest one column/row only for the solution code.
