I also solved it with code and the result was a coherent word, so you probably missed something in the logic šŸ˜€, but you managed to solve it, so thatā€™s what matters! šŸ‘ ---

I just solved it manually in about 40 minutes, first puzzle I have tried and with a bit of trial and error not too hard šŸ™‚ ---

I thought it was like PICROSS, so is that my error? they donā€™t have to meet? ---

Itā€™s a combination of Picross, Sudoku and one another kind of puzzle. So, not that easy, but with right logic, it is easy. ---

I think thatā€™s must be the error, else it wouldnā€™t be solvable(like in my image) I just did it intutive and i think i already misunderstoof the rules. ---

Or you can do this way. Note: Partially solved in MS Excel. (manually) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/rapyd/original/3X/7/6/761993d0015673f7d915e67d808e2ebe6f63dd06.png) ---

Now that i understand the rules it seems doable, i wonder what will be faster code or by hand. I was just confused that i already was logically stucked on my first step and knew that dumbass me didnā€™t read the rules carefully enough. ---

It means you cannot have gaps within a thermometer. It should be filled starting from the bulb of the thermometer towards the end/tail of the thermometer. ---

Yes, the thermometer can be either full, partially full or completely empty, but it cannot contain gaps. ---
