Okay, I'll leave out the editorialization if you leave out "hints" that aren't actually hints on solving the puzzle, which is what people are looking for. It is fine not to know how to solve the puzzle, just put in a hint of "This puzzle has not yet been solved, but the answer can be determined through backsolving" so that other contributors can add hints that actually help people that want to solve the puzzle, not skip past it. Jumping to the final answer is a totally valid strategy in competitive events, but this is a puzzle book where people are coming to look for help on how to actually solve each puzzle. Some people like to know that a puzzle is actually solvable stand-alone, not just "hackable" by back-solving from a meta.
