This required a lot of basics before getting to a point where one looks for more advanced moves. Sort of like an algebra test where you have to do a lot of arithmetic before getting to the algebra problem.

You're apparently referring to my solution. I played the 569 XYZ first, which led to a BUG+2, but the W on 56 would lead to a BUG+1 the way I saw it. |

After basics, it can be solved by two successive XYZ-wings.
