Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.#3: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jul 16, 2020
Hm. The solver is able to solve it, so my guess is that there's a way to solve it with line logic.#4: Michael Eddy (meddy) on Jul 17, 2020
Pretty sure it was all line/color logic for me. Fun solve.#5: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jul 17, 2020 [SPOILER]

Scary.#7: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jul 18, 2020
This puzzle, with the blots, is definitely not solvable with only line logic. It is LLS without the blots, though. Perhaps, Valerie, you looked at the solvability of #34323? (I'm not even sure why there is a separate version as I did not request to make a new version at any point.)#8: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jul 22, 2020
If you have already solved this, you can reload the blank puzzle and press the "Helper" button. It will bring you to the position of my hint in #1. At that point you can see that no single line or column can be added to without referring to another.
Joe - I tried the solver on it again, and *thought* it had filled in the entire puzzle, but then I looked back at your comment #1 here, and, when I looked carefully, I saw that indeed there are two unsolved pixels that I hadn't noticed. My apologies!#9: Kathy Roth (clyde) on Aug 3, 2020
The blots make it interesting, nice puzzle.#10: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Sep 5, 2020
Well, it was a tough solve. Very colorful. Not sure how accurately it illustrates the story.#11: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Sep 19, 2020 [SPOILER]
