Quick Rules:

Rows and columns are divided into compartments of white squares. Use single numbers to complete a straight for each compartment. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps and in any order. No single number can repeat in any row or column. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight

This version introduces awareness of the three Str8ts variants.
It is slightly experimental in that there may be user interface funnies and errors - big changes don't happen perfectly. Let me know any bugs. If you are can't see the new variant selector above the New/Save button, [CRTL]+[F5] to force a page reload.

What's 'A' and 'B'?
I've split these strategies into two. The first time they are called - 'A', they only look for eliminations which return a solution for a cell, ie one number is left. This focuses the solver on the shortest path. If this fails, 'B' is called, which returns all eliminations, if any are possible.

Please report any bugs. Tested in Chrome, Firefox and an old iPad
