Good one!

Before I finished the wheel it looked more like something you would cook rather than cook with. (I atarted with a lucky guess)

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by dbouldin.
#8: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Jul 24, 2024
Sorry, didn't track my solve but definitely moderate at most. I might revisit and track if needed?
#9: Michael Eddy (meddy) on Jul 24, 2024
Solved with logic but it was definitely brain-bending in some spots. I think we need better definition around the differences between moderate and deep lookahead; the advanced logic in this seemed way tougher than what's in puzzles typically marked as moderate (though it's possible I may have just missed some easier moves).

I found the same things that Wombi found, and I too am stuck at 13%.

Wombatilim, what do you prefer to be called?
#11: Wombat (wombatilim) on Jul 29, 2024
Valerie: Either Wombat or Batti are my preferred, but I'm not too fussed about other ways to shorten my name.

Thanks -- good to know!
