Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

More edge logic than what is considered healthy for you. Please digest in small doses if necessary.

First puzzle where I was actually able to successfully use edge logic! Yay! Thanks for the great learning tool.
#4: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Apr 19, 2010 [HINT]
lots of edge logic. another good one Gator
#5: Al LaPointe (kancamagus) on Apr 19, 2010 [HINT]
very fun exercise in edge logic, but i was very glad when it started to come back!

great solving puzzle
#7: Gator (Gator) on Apr 20, 2010
Thanks all.

Now that was a challenge! On this one, I did some edge logic, then got stuck. But I was able to use "holistic" logic (I think that's what Jan called it) where I could look at the clues and visualize the shape it had to be. Then I was able to spot the edge logic more easily. Very cool!
#9: Jan Wolter (jan) on Apr 20, 2010 [HINT]
I used edge logic all over the place, but I think the critical and tricky stuff as on the bottom. Had to look at some of the four's a few lines in and compare them against the clues one line above, even though they weren't actually on the "edge" because the bottom line wasn't fully filled in.

I don't think I've ever used so much edge logic on one puzzle.
#10: Cynthia Lynn McDaniel (mcaardva) on May 10, 2010 [HINT]
Edge logic all the way, but some of it wasn't on the edge! Started with column one, then used column 5 as another edge. Does that make sense?
#11: Gator (Gator) on May 10, 2010
Makes sense to me. :)

Thanks all.

gator... could you check out my 8733 puz... i believe it can be solved logically ...while using row 2, thanks in advance
#13: Matt Coulter (mcoulter) on May 13, 2010 [HINT]
As others have noted, some wicked cool edge logic to get this one started - especially on the bottom. Very neat. Once the left and bottom are done the rest practically solves itself.

Me love this one. Thanks!
