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.#4: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jul 13, 2011

I did run into problems once by making an assumption about the letters. Once that was figured out, it was smooth sailing. Good puzzle.#9: Michael Eddy (meddy) on Jul 30, 2020
"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.#10: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Sep 16, 2020
"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.#11: Vaggelis Kamaris (evag7651) on Feb 3, 2022
I agree with Paul. No guessing needed. Excellant job.#12: Courtenay Footman (Courtenay) on Oct 8, 2023
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?#13: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Nov 10, 2024
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.#14: Wombat (wombatilim) on Nov 10, 2024 [HINT]
