ceebee Daily subscriber Rated puzzle: Hard Has started but not yet finished this puzzle
Couldn’t find a unique solution. Got stuck with the two 2 clues in the top row and the position of the sevens. Looked to me as though either solution would work. ☹️

for me, the 3 clue in bottom row set the 6. In the end, this determined the 7 for the two 2 clues in the top row, if I remember correctly.

ceebee, I tried to replicate the position where you got stuck.
I'd guess that the two open positions in the top row were both [4,5] in cols 2 and 3.
In my game, in that stage, row three contained 4 only in these two cols as well.
You can then eliminate the 4 from these cols in all other rows, leading to a straight-forward continuation.
Hope that helps...

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'.
