Did it. No green. Pretty tough there for awhile. Two really difficult moves near the beginning... talking about Wednesday's puzzle.

Difficulty score 61. Used green and alternating inference chains.

DOne, not so hard

done - a little bit of backtracking in there, oops

Done after 79 minutes!

Another expert bites the dust. Bring on Friday's challenge!

I found this easier than yesterdays easy one

17 filled, going green...

And done.

half ready

start

go

done with greens and 2 guesses

done with greens

done no green. One chain at 17 and the rest was easy.

hello everybody

done

restart

done

this time with greens

go

done. auto g+r after 17 filled. then a bad guess then a good guess.

An elegant solution is to use a Swordfish with 5s and then a y wing in the lower boxes. No guessing required. Blows it open.

Well, I'll try it just for the halibut.

Aboloni

Ain't it the trout

ur just bein shellfish. Appologies to the B52's

go

commence

Go.

going green

An easy Expert. No Greens.

terminate... talk about being blind.. didn't see that easy fill.. for 15 mins

go

done, greens after 17, and then a few not-so-great guesses. oh well.

greens after 15 or so + 1 wrong guess = done ! - have a great day all !

go

re-start

i thought that was going too smoothly :(

done with green

done! after many retries.
