Very colorful--fun to solve. Can't judge the solvability 'cause once I recognized the pattern, I made some choices based on what I "knew" it had to be.

Good point, youngl. This is exactly the same reason that when the computer told me it to check it manually to see if it required guessing to be solved, I ignored it.

Have you considered placing the extra square in the E in the 2nd row, rather than the 3rd? To me, it looks better that way.

This seems to me to be solvable by color logic, but maybe I missed some obvious edge logic?

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

To Kristen: I think the E needs it in the 3rd row, because if it is in the 2nd row it sort of looks mutated and fatty. :)

Really enjoyed the solve! Thanks!

If I saw that W in a dark alley, I would NOT know what it was!
