I absolutely love str8ts and do them everyday. I often get stuck on the weekly extreme despite studying and trying to apply the strategies. Is there anyone out there who would be willing to look at my puzzle and teach me the next logical step? Thanks! |

Hi Julie C., here is the standard reference for Str8ts-strategies: de.slideshare.net/SlowThinker/str8ts-basic-and-advanced-strategies this should help | |||

If you then still are stuck, post your problem here (how many cells are already solved, what were the last steps you have taken) and you will usually get help. | |||

Right, First very fast, afterwards slower. But solvable die me with short chains, first starting in row I laster in column 8. | |||

SPOILER Don't read this if you want to find the solution yourselves. Setti on 2 and 3 solves via row G. | |||

Very nice, once again. I agree with witch and Butcher that it is hard, but it can still be solved without chains and SIs - just BX and str8ts standard strategies are sufficient. Thanks, Leren, not only for this puzzle, but for all the extra fun. Personally, I only needed a chain in the X puzzle which seemed to be the hardest one for me. | |||

puh, for me a bit harder than the latest x puzzles in the weeks before. Lots of nice implications, though, but I needed quite some SIs and even a chain. Maybe I just didn't see something important ... | |||

Read the comments ,little bit astonished about how easy the weekly seems. Not for me. Stuck after 11 solved cells (application of bca 6,7 and fishes in 3 and 6, some pairs and singles) High low col 7 not clear for me. What have i overlooked? | |||

Maybe the large gap on row C from C7 after CE on col 7 helps? | |||

Thanks, indeed easy, i must have been blind | |||

Yes, a large gap idea is helpful here. The numbers 1 and 8 cannot be in compartment C3...9 at the same time. | |||
