Things are too quiet!

I was looking in the archives, and found this one from a couple of years ago. Enjoy!

W-Wing

Simple coloring (not sure if needed)

W-Wing which couldn't make a direct elimination, but coloring one pincer twice broke it open.

For me:

[1] Skyscraper on <9> in c24
[2] Kite, pivot b5, removes <6> from r1c7
[3] "Useless" XYZ Wing in r2c89|r4c9: r1c7 sees <2>s in r2c89 directly and sees <2> in r4c9 via ERs in boxes 2, 5, 4, 7 and 9. (Or, you can consider r4c9 transported to r8c7.)

The "basics" in this one are pretty tough.

I believe you can solve it with only a W-wing and an X-wing.

But, there are many ways through this maze. As I recall, I originally did it with a W-, XY, and W- wing.

I solved the puzzle without using any w-wings but it took six steps: two colorings, a finned x, a swordfish and two xy-wings. Fun but long.
