I had fun with this because I kept making mistakes. Embarassed

Eventually I got it done right but I did need a UR, which I try to avoid, just to make things harder. Smile
2 skyscrapers, a UR, an xy-wing and an xyz.

I just finished this and I see my reply from yesterday. Did I do it twice or reply to the wrong puzzle? Hmmm. At any rate, it was a seven-stepper and a fun challenge.

I also had a seven step solution including an ER, a finned swordfish (which I later realized was the same as another ER), type 1 and type 2 URs, and two xy-wings. My last step was the w-wing on <39> which probably would have solved the puzzle much sooner.
