What am I missing? How can this be solved without guessing?

Yes I know it's nonconsecutive. :-) But I've twice got to a stage where there's no logic to follow and I have to make a guess (and test that guess). I thought that shouldn't be necessary, so I must have missed something.

Naomiw I had to start again 3 times but got there in the end without guessing. Perhaps you need to have one more go at it. Good luck!

Have you remembered that the absence of a consecutive symbol means that a pair of neighbouring squares are not consecutive? But this is a tough puzzle.

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
