Great puzzle. Very nice.#3: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Apr 2, 2013 [HINT]
after initial ll/cl:#4: Lollipop (lollipop) on Apr 3, 2013
the first 1 clues in r17 and r18 can not both go into c2 so at least one of them goes into c1, making r17c1 black
ll
smile logic to finish the "g" c1-2
smile logic to finish the "u" in c7-10
cl on the black to finish the "w" and the "a"
only the red is remaining now
el (extended?) on the 18 clue in r23 to dot c10
ll to finish
no guessing
great solve
I agree, enjoyable solve.#5: valerie o..travis (bigblue) on Apr 3, 2013

I had what Bugaboo had, mostly. I got to 90%. But I think I saw definitely non-extended edge logic.
For the reds I noted a red at C10R23 would make the 2 in row 27 unplaceable. Then, line logic. I may have overplayed my hand with color logic--there are tricky bits there to get everything before resorting to edge logic. So edge logic first on the reds may be the way to go.
