beautiful job - takes lots of backtracking when logic proves a path wrong, but NO GUESSING needed. Great puzzle and nice and hard --- i congratulate the maker.

I did run into problems once by making an assumption about the letters. Once that was figured out, it was smooth sailing. Good puzzle.

"Takes lots of backtracking when logic proves a path wrong, but NO GUESSING needed" - I would argue that choosing that path in the first place was a guess, especially if lots of backtracking was necessary. If more than a very small number of steps is needed to prove-out the guess, then I think it's more than just lookahead.

"Picture logic" (another form of guessing) was very helpful for me in this puzzle.

Even when one expects it, this is a great image and a very well done rendition.

I agree with Paul. No guessing needed. Excellant job.

No guessing needed. Was it pure coincidence that two pictures of this ship were both on the random puzzles for 10/8/23? Or are there just so many pictures of this ship that we are bound to get two at some point?
