Found to be solvable with deep lookahead by gator.#2: Gator (gator) on Sep 8, 2021 [HINT]
All but the red solves out normally with line/color logic.#3: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Sep 9, 2021
No matter where the 2 clue in R9 is placed, R8C4 and R8C9 are always dots.
Saying on R9 and looking one more step ahead, no matter where the 2 clue is placed (look at how the 4 clue in R6 is affected), R4C8-9 and R5C9 always end up as dots.
Either R6C4 or R9C4 has to be red. In either case, R5C8 will end up as a dot. LL to finish.
I had to look one too many moves ahead for that last step, so I'm marking this as deep lookahead.
Nice puzzle!

Nice puzzle. Was easy to solve. Started at bottom. The handle was where I had to experiment but it wasn't hard. Thanks for a good puzzle!
