I used quite a bit of edge logic, and for one bit in the top right I used a bit of logic that maybe I would call "deep lookahead" focused on where the 1 clue in C43 cannot go.#2: Allie Blake (Allie) on Nov 9, 2020
I haven't completed it yet, but I love World of Warcraft!!!#3: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Nov 12, 2020
this was a surprisingly good solve! The color blocking helped. :)#4: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Apr 28, 2022
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.#5: Gator (gator) on Apr 28, 2022 [HINT]
Most of the puzzle solves with line/color logic except for the top right. At this point, you will only be left with black cells to fill in.
Note that I am not sure all of this is required.
EL on R1 makes R1C39-44 dots. LL.
If one of the 2 clues in R7 is at R7C47-8, this will make both C49 and C50 invalid. So R7C47 is a dot. If it is at R7C48-49, it makes C50 invalid. So R7C48 is also a dot. LL.
If the 4 clue in C49 extends up to R6, this will lead to R10 being invalid. So R6C49 is a dot.
No matter how C38 is filled in, R7C39 is always black and R10C39 is always a dot.
The 2 clue in C40 can be in one of two places. It will either cause R10C40 or R10C38 to be black. This lets us dot R10C43-4. The same kind of logic lets us know that either R9C38 or R9C40 will be part of the 2 clue in R9. So R9C43-4 also have to be dots. LL.
If the 4 clue in C50 extends down to R12, this will force R7 to be invalid, as you would have to fill in R7C43-5. So R12C50 is a dot. LL to finish.
Fantastic solve!
