Gotta destroy 'em all.

Love it! It is rather thought-provoking, in an odd way.
#3: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on May 25, 2020
no guessing, just some edge logic is needed.
#4: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on May 25, 2020
drat, I can no longer change the solvability ruling.
#5: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Jun 4, 2020
help! having trouble finding logical steps forward. i mean, i can "guess" where they probably go, but i can go very far down a wrong path and come to another dead-end without a single contradiction. need help with the edge logic that logically moves me forward?
#6: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jun 5, 2020
Hmm, I re-solved it, to see if I'd taken any logical shortcuts. The edge logic on either side (columns 1 and 20) is pretty straightforward, and it's line and color logic from there.

Found it...actually, them. I had challenged makers to come up with two puzzles with the same clues repeated either vertically or horizontally. A few of us stepped up. Look up Brian's Challenge.

Yeah, I'm not knocking the strategy of "continuity" or picture-based solving, but it is intuition, not logic. It's similar to the multiple solutions differentiation between "easily guessed" or not. You use the image as your basis, but it's still guessing. I'm just trying to figure out whether there's a logical solve here.
#15: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jun 17, 2020
I think Gator did a couple of those. They were abstract flower-ish designs.

I don't use that sort of edge unless my puzzles don't solve easily, because the picture always comes first.
