				| Hi, hello!  I've been playing the games on the site for several years but only joined here today. 
 Anyhow, is it just me or is anyone else having difficulty with today's puzzle?  I've tried it seven or eight times now and it just won't work out!
 
 I have difficulty with the "Very Hards" sometimes but I usually manage the "Hards"!

				| After doing the initial cross-hatching and clicking Auto sweep, I got the following grid (no guarantee that I did everything right): 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | +----------------+-------------+-----------------+
 | 2456  9   2456 | 36  35   1  | 7     346  8    |
 | 567   567 1    | 2   358  4  | 356   36   9    |
 | 3     8   2456 | 69  59   7  | 1256  146  1245 |
 +----------------+-------------+-----------------+
 | 2459  1   2459 | 39  6    39 | 8     3479 2347 |
 | 269   236 8    | 7   4    5  | 12369 1369 123  |
 | 469   346 7    | 139 2    8  | 1369  5    134  |
