To anyone who comes across this problem: The webserver doesn't deliver the whole response, thus you get an incomplete board. I had this problem with my Python implementation too.

Finally finished this after dropping it a few years ago. Cheap ass Python implementation with just one optimization and just brute-forcing my way through, takes 2-3 minutes per level on the last ~15 levels. I know I should've probably looked for another optimization…
