A link was posted long ago.

My computer died not long after.

There is a person that makes "only" varients.

Mostly regular cage but odd rules.
Anyone help me find his site?

Thank ...

I dropped this into a solver.

It solved it, but not without "guesses".

Plus, the 2 guesses were in the first 4 steps.

Really ugly puzzle!

nope, i have not looked at finished puzzles much. Interesting idea. it may suggest a solving method? Bigger brains may provide insight. I suspect it is already covered.

I had seen this mentioned before, probably by you (elsewhere), and didn't get the point at that time. The eliminations are more important.

hobiwan lists this pattern separately under both names. I like the moniker "Death Blossom" better. Perhaps most people don't? Smile

That last puzzle, 1645, has a nice Death Blossom which can turn it into a 2 stepper. (skyscraper)
