Don't let Very Hard put you off.

Apart from one grid you will get by with singles. The last grid has 3 X-wings but to make it easier Tarek has arranged that the digits to look for are all multiples of 3.:)

Tarek, thanks for another interesting Samurai.

As Glyn wrote: "Don't let Very Hard put you off."
You get very far with N/H-Singles only.
This is an excellent puzzle for anyone new to or inexperienced with X-Wings and who wants to get more experience with this technique.

Except for grid 4 this puzzles solves with N/H-Singles only.
In grid 4 three X-Wings are required. I tried to look for a single technique for solving grid 4, but no one showed up.
