Yes thanks, Mom, your posts are always v helpful 😍 and I'll reread, to see how I can refine my game.

You're certainly right in saying a player CAN determine the direction of the blast. And which row or column is wiped by the effect.

I reckon that sometimes side by side terminal bulbs produce a vertical flash, and other times horizontal, depending on the variant of HL game you play. There does not seem to me to be an entirely consistent, single rule that holds true for all variants. I could be wrong, I'm always in a lather when I play. 😜

But the above poster I quoted was talking about something else. I just tried it, and it is *really* helpful in determining my next move! I don't have to test press the superbulb any more, just look at its filament to see which direction the blast will travel. That is a great new 'piece of the puzzle' for me.
