I took a break to fix an anomaly in my puzzle generator and to review how I choose puzzles to submit. (For those not forced to read USA government documents during their career, anomaly means bug.)

Anyway, I seem to be dragging my feet on addressing the anomaly, so I thought that I'd post again. Note: There isn't anything technically wrong with these puzzles. They just don't represent the logic that I'd intended.

This puzzle only needs VH techniques, but there's a twist that doesn't occur often. Unfortunately, the twist isn't necessary to solve the puzzle. Crying or Very sad

Code:
 +-----------------------+
 | 1 9 . | 7 8 4 | 3 . . |
 | 8 . . | . . . | . 9 . |
 | . . . | . . . | 4 . . |
 |-------+-------+-------|
 | 2 . . | . . 9 | . 5 . |
 | 7 . . | . . 2 | 9 . . |
 | 9 . . | 8 7 5 | 2 . 3 |
 |-------+-------+-------|
 | 4 . 1 | . 9 8 | 7 . . |
 | . 7 . | 4 . . | . 6 . |
 | . . . | . . 7 | . . 9 |

Just a one-stepper and, unfortunately, no twists noted.

I just played them as I saw them for six steps: x-wing, multi-coloring, kite, UR, and two xy-wings.

I did not look for the "twist", but may do so later ......

Again, a fun puzzle.

After basics, there's a [c47] X-Wing in (5) that exposes an XY-Wing that cracks the puzzle.

The Twist: The first X-Wing also exposes a [c15] X-Wing in (5) that exposes two more XY-Wings, one of which cracks the puzzle.

I don't recall one X-Wing in a candidate immediately exposing a second X-Wing in that candidate. I'm sure it happens, but I suspect that it is rare.
