Well, there is a unique solution. I'm not all that sure that it can be arrived at without a lot of trial and error or pure guessing.#2: Robert Kummerfeldt (rmkummerfeldt) on May 2, 2007 [HINT] [SPOILER]

If you assume the black on the left is the beginning of a word, it becomes quite easy to add blacks and points. Very fast, you stop guessing and return to a logical solution (remember to save before...)#4: Marie-Louise Ambrey (marz) on Jun 16, 2007
I like your logic Martial, that's my kind of logic.#5: Rachel R (rachel) on Aug 16, 2007 [HINT]
It was easy to guess what the lettering at the bottom said, but I had to use Robert's hint for the other black part.#6: Arduinna (arduinna) on Jan 25, 2008 [HINT] [SPOILER]

Guspilla would you compete in this week's WC ? (Forum #112)#10: Byrdie (byrdie) on Aug 23, 2011 [HINT]
I don't know if this puzzle was redone or not but, between color and line logic this one solved straight away. Image is lacking, however.#11: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Oct 22, 2018 [HINT]
I'm not a deep lookahead kind of guy, but I had no problem solving this. The 14s go easily, then the blues on top follow just as easily. At that point you know pretty much what's happening, put in the red and green stripes, then fill in the words. Easy peasy that way.#12: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on Sep 22, 2022
Googling the solution text I was quite shocked to find it was a very familiar tune! It's kind of everywhere now, isn't it?#13: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Sep 22, 2022
Hmm, I hope Jack White got royalties for this. :)
