Have to say that love the fact that this solves out with line logic except for one move. There are probably multiple moves that will break it free, but I love the one I found. Curious to hear what move other solvers find before I share mine :)

you always have such a way with logic that isn't pure logic, Kristen...extremely good at "intuitive logic" for puzzle-solving :)

i'll say there is a more "nit-picky, detail-oriented, step-by-step" logic move that gets you there too ;)

Trying to place the nine on C16 was my break!

I didn't make a note of my guess, but it I think it was C11 R3 or near there. I thought with three fives that my choice would be somewhere in the top of the first 5. And it worked. Everything fell into place from there.

If the 9 starts at row 2, it will not work, deep look ahead, same with row 3. Definitely not guessing!

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.
