Some edge logic for this one.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Every time I got "something" that let me continue for a bit, I got stuck again and had to resort to some trickier edge logic. The last upper left corner was especially more difficult.

The key at that point was row 8. Extending it to the right made the 3rd "1" in row 7 impossible to place.

Loads of fun on this one.

My edge logic steps were as follows after the initial line logic:

1. You can place the 6 clue in row 1 entirely using edge logic. More line logic.

2. R20C16 and R20C17 can be dotted with edge logic using the 4 clue in row 20. A lot more line logic.

3. Using the 4 clue in column 1, R12C1 and R13C1 will be dots.

The rest will finish out with line logic.

A fun puzzle to solve. Very impressive that you got this kind of line drawing to solve logically.

ditto #6

It took about 30-40 revisions to get it solvable. I probably could have refined it a bit more, but once it was solvable, I was done with it. :)

great solve and nice image

Thanks!

Very cute. Nice solve.

Perfection.

HINT:
(there has to be a 1 in one of the 2 squares in R7C8/9, so the 5 can't start in C9 or neither would be able to be a 1. That's kinda the advanced lookahead in this puzzle).

Did it again and it is still Very cute.
