after initial ll:

el on the 12-clue in r6 to dot c16-19
ll
el the 3-clue in r1 to dot c2-7
ll to finish
no guessing

not especially hard and actually very little advanced logic needed but it turned out nice overall

thanks everyone! :)

you're right bug....I solved it a diff way when I made it. Instead of looking for easier ways, I go with whatever logic I see first. I just know I used ad-log 5 or 6 times(though prob unnecessarily), so I added the disclaimer

I was going to say that that's more likely to be Peter Anodon, since they're the ones that had the bony protrusion on their heads, but then I looked it up and found that "pterodactyl" has become a generic name for any of the pterosaurs.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.
