Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

deep edge logic on the 10 in r20 vs r18 makes r20c1-5 white
then line logic to finish

I got this title right off

Thanks for the earworm!

@infrapinklizzard, Is there a glossary of terms and how to solve? For puzzles like this, I start with the longest run, in this case, the ten on the bottom, and color in a stretch, then "Check", and go from there.

Spot, try the FAQ tab, at left :)

Here is a direct link to the solving techniques page
https://www.webpbn.com/index.cgi?page=solving.html

I use abbreviations like r1c2 meaning row 1, column 2. The r20c1-5 thus means row 20, columns 1 through 5

Valerie kindly made a counter in the upper right of the puzzle solving pages that shows what row and column your cursor is over

The "Deep edge logic" is not on the tutorial page, but it is just edge logic where instead of the immediately next row/column, you have to farther in.
In the case of my clue "deep edge logic on the 10 in r20 vs r18 makes r20c1-5 white " the edge logic on row 20 does not make a conflict in row 19, it is in row 18.
