Puzzle Description:

A spiral. I designed this puzzle not because I thought it would be a great image, but because I really enjoy puzzles that start with some edge logic and work their way towards the middle.

You may notice that there is no line logic available at the beginning of this puzzle. This is by design. You're going to need some edge logic to start yourself off.

As the title suggests, I recommend starting with the bottom. The bottom row can be filled out only one way, and the rest will solve gracefully with line logic.

You can start at the top or the right with edge logic if you prefer, but you're going to have to do edge logic on the bottom eventually. Might as well start there.

Fun easy puzzle if you pay attention to the title.

I would say "ugh, another spiral," but this was a fairly entertaining spiral. :)

I started at the top and had no problem.

I followed the advice and started at the bottom. Extended edge logic to start and the puzzle was a breeze after that. Well done.

if you start at the top with edge logic on the 8 clue in r1 you will still actually have to use edge logic (either on the 7 clue in c20 or the 8 clue in r20) later on

but as wombatilim said if you use edge logic on the 8 clue in r20 to begin with it solves out normally from there

however i will disagree with the last part of comment 1 because you can actually use edge logic on the 7 clue in c20 to begin with and it does in fact solve out with line logic

thx Wombat

Very enjoyable. I like how you designed it.

Smooth solve all the way around.

You can solve it lots of ways, but solving it the way wombat suggested, it was fun following the spiral from start to finish.

Ditto following the title. Might try this one again without following the first hint.

Found to be logically solvable by gator.

This is a very cool puzzle design. I enjoy that sort of puzzle, too, and I'm glad this popped up randomly for me.
