Found to be logically solvable by gator.

Thanks, Gator. I couldn't see that move myself.

Interesting design, Laura. I'm glad you did it on a small grid.

This was kind of fun to solve.
I managed to use logic to solve most of this, but had to use "smile" logic toward the end.
CB Paul: Yes, i also think of "squiggle" as curly, but what other name would you give this -- zig - zag?

My favorite way of solving is to click all the white squares, then solve for black, then red, then green, then blue. My goal is to click each square only once, which I've never been able to do, because of my own errors, and because solving on a phone screen, the grid will jump about a bit randomly, and if I'm filling in a block or line, the jump causes me to click the wrong box here and there....I solved this puzzle basically as described, though I didn't get all the white clicked, so many squares required two clicks. I'm mentioning this here, as the talk of using smile logic, or solving for black last, seems to make the puzzle harder...I noticed the pattern in the numbers, and didn't need any real logic (tho I'm also not sure what some of the types of logic actually are, so I might be using them without realizing...)
