I started solving it, but because of the multiple solutions label didn't try to finish. Perhaps you could tweak it to avoid the multiple solutions.

Will adjust. There is one spot that is multiple

after initial ll/cl:

whether the 3-clue in r6 extends left into c10 or right into c13, the 2-clue in r7 will also be in that same column so you can dot r7c6-8 - you can also dot r7c15-16 this way but it is not necessary

el the 5-clue in r20 to dot c6-7 - you can dot more than this but it is not necessary

iel the 6-clue in c7 - there is no way it can extend down to r19, 18, or 17, or 16 with only a 1-clue in c6 and clues of 2+ in each of those rows and in c8
ll to finish
no guessing
