very unique, i enjoyed this one

quite fun to solve! I thought it was some sort of safety pin/sickle combo until I read the description, but now it's perfectly visible. Thank you.

This was a pain in the butt. I have no idea how to solve this. Hint, gator?

Sort of looked like some type of a corkscrew to me, which sort of goes with the title!

#3 - Not sure. It is line logic solvable, so where are you stuck?

Thanks ant, stacey, and Joel.

Joel - I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. :)

I, like Adam, am stuck and don't know what to do. I only have about 15 spaces filled in, and 5 dots in R7. I went through each row, counting and looking for clues. Maybe I missed something, I don't know.

This may be logically solvable, but I sure can't do it by advanced logic, let alone line logic.

I have about 25 pixels placed, with about half of them in the upper left corner area.

It was tricky, but I did it without guessing

I must have just been too tired last night when I started this. I just missed one of the 7 clues. It solved nicely today.

#11 - My first reaction to your comment last night was "No. Work on it again when you've had some rest." :)

I had to restart this several times and eventually something clicked and it suddenly solved easily. I filled in the obvious bits and then it was just a matter going round in circles filling a square or two each round until it was done.

I had to use edge logic. I started in each of the four corners and then some. It was very enjoyable, though, once I got going. I, too, fell into the thinking that it was a Gator puzzle, so maybe it was a little too hard for me. You intimidate me a little. I think you are a genius with this stuff. I'm glad you explained it. I saw it right away when you did.

Jan is this "L" key function new? It's fantastic and I never knew about it. Thanks!

Yeah, it's kind of something that I tossed in one day as an experiment. I kind of like it, though it needs some refinement and perhaps even a button. I'd also like to have a "check" function that tells you if any squares are colored incorrectly, and then offers to automatically undo back to the first point where you marked a square incorrectly.

How do you use it? I have tried clicking on "L" when solving a puzzle, but nothing happens. Are there certain criteria for when it will work, or am I just exempt?

I just press the "L" key while solving and a beautiful purple arrow appears by the row or column where I should be looking harder, it's great!

You are privileged. I am demoted.

No, maybe it's because I'm a Mac!

The "L" command should work for everyone. Your mouse must be over the puzzle grid for any of the key commands to work. It should either display a purple arrow in the margins of the puzzle (where it normally displays the counts when you hover over a painted cell) or pop up a "no hints available" message.

Adam, for me it only works on this puzzle. Try clearing this puzzle's solution and giving it a shot.

Nope. It doesn't work. Oh well. Luckily I can get by without it.

I don't know what y'all's problem is. I got it down straight away, although it took looking at Gator's puzzle description for me to actually know what I was looking at. Thanks, Gator, for a neat puzzle.

Thanks all!

Teresa - I'm glad you got through it. :) I might be able to get a new one out this week. We'll see...

fun lls puzzle

It's totally solvable by edge logic but cant remember where I started. I thik it was the top left corner and got the dot in that corner then did the 5 down. Must have just gotten lucky because I thought it was one Gator's easier ones. Great puzzle...thanks!!

I did it! Without any hints either! Yay!

Brilliant puzzle Gator :)

Thanks!

Very clever. No guessing needed. Nice design even without the meaning.
