Hi! New here. Recently learned wing techniques and am having fun going through the archives and solving the "Very Hard" ones. I enjoy checking my techniques against others. I see no solution on this one (Feb 14, 2016). Is there one somewhere else? It took me two XY-wings and an XYZ-wing to get it to work. It would be nice if there is any easier way that I could learn from. Thanks!

Ken

Hi Ken and welcome. Don't hesitate to post any questions or comments. Sometimes when making the first post about a puzzle, the poster hides his solution so as not to be a spoiler. You do that by typing your solution in a quote box and changing the font color to white so the white on white isn't visible. That's what Hugh has done here. Select the quote box to see the solution.

Thanks, Marty! I had noticed that some people commented on a solution that didn't seem to be there. Makes sense now.
