We needed another small tuffy...had to sacrifice image to make it solve though. Absolutely no guessing!#2: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Mar 22, 2019 [HINT]
Initial LL gets you pretty much nowhere....#3: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Mar 23, 2019 [SPOILER]
el the 6 in r1 to dot c's 2-8, 17-19. LL
el in c17 determines the black you have is the 1 clue, so dot r's 13-18. LL
Now you have a 2 clue in c16 to find and one black already. whether the 2 goes up or down, the cross-clues make the black you have in c15 part of the 4 clue(and not the 1). This lets you make c15r13 black and c15,r's16-18 dots. LL(namely a LL dot in c14,r10...which gets more LL)
The 1 in c15 has to be in either r5 or r6. Either way, the cross-clues mean that the remaining 2 clue in c14 must be in the range of r6-8. So make c14r7 black. LL(you'll have sneaky hard to find LL dots in r7c8 and r7c11 that the "hint" tab won't show you). LL solves out...
That's how they get jelly in Spongebob, IIRC#4: Jota (jota) on Mar 23, 2019

Hmm. I thought it was going to be a diagonal owl. I like it when I'm fooled. Thank you.#8: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Apr 3, 2019
