				I could not solve the medium puzzle today without having to use a wing---an x-wing. 
 
This was a tougher puzzle than many H puzzles, and some VH puzzles---to me. |

Just curious if you tried it a second time. You might see something you missed the first go-around. |

				The whole X-Wing crumbles once you figure out that the only 2's left in box 7 are in row 7.
 
 
I presume that is a medium technique? |
