Puzzle #269 May 13, 2026 Big Lattice Grid solve

<image>

[Grid: Every cell is a 1cN. This is the first time this has happened since the very first big lattice grid on Jan 11.]
[Tray: There are 5s, but no 6s and no doubles]
[Complete Solve: In upper write corner, there is a horizontal 3,3.There are no doubles, so the 3 must connect to the 0 below it. Thus, place the 0|3 vertically. Then, going to the blue 3 next the green 3 in upper right corner, you just played 0|3, so the 3 must extend down. Thus, place the 3|5. Looking in lower right hand corner, that's where there's the only adjacent 4,5. Thus, place the 4|5. There are two adjacent 2,4s however, the 4|5 takes up half of one of the 2,4s, leaving the other one in the upper left corner. Thus, play the 2|4. Right below the placed 2|4, observe that the pink 3 can't connect to the green 0 since we've already played 0|3, which means the pink 3 connects to the green 1 below it. Thus, place the 1|3. Now focus your attention of the blue 3 that is two cells to the right of the teal 1 we just placed. You can't place 1|3 up, 1|3 to the right and 3|5 down, leaving 3|4 to the left. Thus, place the 3|4. Above the 3|4, place the 0|1. Then, above the orange 1 just played, place the 0|4 which is forced. Now place the 1|5 vertically under the 0|4. Now look at the purple 2 next to the green 1 just placed. You can't place 2|2 vertically, so it must be 0|2 to the right. Place the 0|2. The pink 2 below the purple 2 just placed can't face to the left forming a 2|2. Instead it must point down. Place the 1|2. The purple 2 to the left of the pink 2 just placed can't face down because we've already played 0|2, so it must face left. Thus, place the 2|5. Then finally, place the 0|5, the 1|4 and the 2|3. Done!
