I hope you'll keep at it! I prefer puzzles that have a unique solution, but the guessing in this puzzle wasn't difficult and I enjoyed the outcome.

Found to require some guessing by wombatilim.

Ronda, to learn check before publishing that they are solvable and have a unique solution, if they don't go back and try to make it work before publishing!

Or maybe the backend should automatically check each puzzle before publishing, and reject those that have multiple solution or require guessing.

It could reject multiple solutions, but the require guessing part would be a lot harder. It reminds me of my logically solvable puzzle that uses alternating smile logic around the edges. The solver program has a really hard time with it, but it is much easier for our human eyes to solve.
