The Solver is a study tool. You will not have it on test day, which is the point of practising with it now.

Why use a browser solver instead of Excel?

Search results for “sea wolf excel solver” usually point at macro-enabled spreadsheets. Those files carry malware risk and often optimise Treatment only, not Prospecting. This runs in the browser, with no download and no macros, and covers both phases.

Use it during practice to learn the patterns. On test day you will not have a solver, so the goal is to stop needing it.

See the Solver in action

A short walkthrough: entering a site, reading the constraint analysis, and arriving at the optimal combination.

Six things it does that a spreadsheet does not

Every feature exists to make the reasoning visible, so practice builds intuition instead of dependence.

Optimal solutions for Phase 3 and Phase 4

Most Excel solvers optimise Treatment only. This one covers Prospecting pool selection as well, and shows the combination it arrived at rather than just a score.

Tiebreaking you can follow

When several combinations score the same, the solver picks the most viable one and shows the constraint analysis behind that choice, so you learn the reasoning rather than copying an answer.

Keyboard shortcuts that save real seconds

Enter species and constraints without reaching for the mouse. The point is to make the input fast enough that you can run many scenarios in one practice session.

Undo mistakes without starting over

Step back through your inputs instead of rebuilding a scenario from scratch when you mistype a value.

Safety checks on impossible inputs

Invalid entries and impossible constraint sets are caught as you type, so a wrong answer never comes from a silent input error.

Launch it straight from your dashboard

No download, no macro-enabled spreadsheet, and nothing to keep up to date. The Solver opens in the browser next to the simulators.

Learn the logic now, so you do not need the solver later

Practise with the optimal answer in front of you until the constraint patterns are obvious, then run the simulator without it.
