I did line and color logic until that ran out. Then some edge logic along the top, then some edge logic with the red in column 15. Then I tried assuming that the square at row 1 column 2 was red, and that quickly ran into an error, which told me that there was a dot there. Then the rest of the puzzle solved with line logic.#5: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Feb 23, 2022 [SPOILER]

I worked edge logic on the edges and it went okay, but then I looked again and noted this:
Edge logic R1C1/15 are dots, then the 3's in R3 are worth a look. If they touch C6 or C10, then C6/C7 R4 or C10/C11 has a 2. Line logic.
Yay alternate solutions!
