This one can be solved with 3 W-wings.
I only found 2 and used an xy-wing to finish. Happy hunting!

| I couldn't solve it with W-Wings only. Started off with a Hidden UR, W-Wing, Coloring, two ERs and a W-Wing. Then a pincer transport on that last W-Wing finished it off. |

| I used the hidden UR also but found it didn't do much good. It was fun to find! Good spotting. |

The type 3(?) UR (12) necessitates that C2C8 is <1>.
That opened the puzzle for me.

Earl, I assume you mean r2c8. What is the reasoning? |

I did find a w-wing that solved it with a few extensions and after the skyscraper on 3
| Code: | .------------------.------------------.------------------.
| 3 6 2 | 7 5 1 | 49 49 8 |
| 5 W18 4 |W38 2 9 | 6 13 7 |
| 9 7 18 | 4 368 368 | 5 123 12 |
:------------------+------------------+------------------:
| 7 A13 6 | 238 1348 2348 | 28 5 9 |
| 2 4 9 | 5 68 7 | 1 68 3 |
| 8 5 #13 | 9 136 2-36 | 7 26 4 |
:------------------+------------------+------------------:
| 1 W2389 W38 |2-38 348 5 | 2489 7 6 |
| 6 W28 7 | 1 9 248 | 3 248 5 |
| 4 W2389 5 | 6 7 238 | 289 1289 12 |
'------------------'------------------'------------------' |
this grid is after the 3 skyscraper.
the w-wing on {3,8} is marked with the grouped strong link.
now with some extensions from the 3 in r7c3 the puzzle cracks.
first the 3 in r7c4 is toast...
then we extend the 3 from r7c3 to cell A and the 3 in r4c4 is toast.
reduced to singles.
(3=8)r2c4 - (8)r2c2 = (8)r789c2 - (8=3)r7c3; r7c4 <> 3
(3=8)r2c4 - (8)r2c2 = (8)r789c2 - (8=3)r7c3 - (3)r6c3 = (3)r4c2; r4c4 <> 3 |
