Answer String: For each cell in the marked rows, enter the number of mines (0, 1, 2) for each cell. Enter 0 if the cell is a number cell. Separate each row’s entry from the next with a comma. In the example, the answer is “022102,002000”.

Tough one to crack. And I had twice as much fun, kept on trying to solve but didn’t get the ‘Solved’.
I ended up to look for the mistake in my previous solution, but the previous solution of the puzzle was the exact same.
