Puzzle Description:

Flee (flea)

#1: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Jan 19, 2022 [HINT]

I enjoyed the solve and the image, but am having a little trouble applying the name of the series to it. Is that single spot the flea? What is the design on the body supposed to be?

That is a dog scratching and a flea fleeing.

I needed to use edge logic on column 14 (row 2) and that was enough to get the ball rolling to complete the puzzle. I may've missed something, though (in fact at some points the puzzle has no hints when line logic is available,) so I don't want to mark this as definitely needing lookahead.

Great to see a new series!

Nice idea for a series. Love the puzzles!

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by valerie.

Andrew, I got stuck and used your advice from #4 to get going again. My vote too is that it needed lookahead -- I agree with your call.

Love the series! This could be a long one ...

I hope!

Another Brainy one! Thanks!

Great action of the dog scratching!

Alternatively, you could use edge logic on C16 to make R18C16 a dot.

Nice puzzle!

I did internal edge logic on the 6 in c2 - it can't go in r9-10 without causing a conflict in c3. Then LL to finish
