The descriptions and multiple letters of the later puzzles in this series are very helpful - Xerox.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

You can start with tiny bits of edge logic on the edges, but the key here is to see that the 8s are limited in where they can go by the 3s in the lines next to them.

Internal EL 8 r3 limits its range to c[4-13] making c6-11 red and c1-3 white

Internal EL 8 r18 limits its range to c[4-13] making c6-11 red and c1-3 white
LL to finish
