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'.
