The solver can now handle Str8ts variants. Yay! The solver button on the player will now pass an appropriate parameter. I will add some examples when I've finished producing some stock. See version history. Not guaranteed to be bug free, so please let me know of any funnies or errors.

 The Weekly Str8ts puzzle #761
 

by: Jens

 One swordfish and standard tools -> thanks to Andrew.
 

by: jo

 Either that or 2 x-wings :)
 

by: Jens

 Hi jo,
those x-Wings don't very much.
So I bypassed them and startet directly a "go through" (German Durchmarsch) with that fine swordfish.
 

by: jo

 Hi Jens,
with the x-wings (first on 7, then on 4) also everything falls into place.
It actually took me a longer second look to find the swordfish (I guess it is the one on 6).
 

by: Jens

Hi jo,
you are right.

 The Weekly Str8ts B puzzle #153
 

by: hone

 Chains needed. Or use additional clue H3=5.
 

by: Cosmanita

A beast also with the hint. After using the hint, possible setti options solve most of box 7.
