Hi, I'm just wondering if there's a specific technique I'm missing for this one? Because I got very close to a solution but I'd made some mistakes, so I'm trying again but still feel like I'm missing something! Any advice would be appreciated :)

Hi Emily, thanks for trying the puzzle! You'll find that (heavily) pencil marking the grid will lead you to pairs, trips and quads that will eventually disambiguate in the bottom right corner. If you need more detailed help, feel free to send me a DM on discord. :)

It was maddening at spots, but it had a gorgeous layout and equally gorgeous logic!
