Please note that at the most bottom-right cell there is one more X placed. There should be unique solution I guess.Could you re-check.

There are several places with FOUR consecutive O's in your solution. This violates the rule of the puzzle.

ok. the problem is I didnot read the question maybe lack of time. I had concentrated on the restrict no more than 4 consecutive letters. but it was 3 letters. Now I knew this with your reply:)
Thanks

Bottom left 8x8 in Across 4 Grids. Am I correct in thinking that Battleships/Graffiti are on top and ML/DY are on bottom? If so, I get a contradiction in bottom left 8x8 as I can't get ML or DY to work in that region. Could there possibly be black squares in My Line? That's the only way I can think of to get it to work down there. Thanks.

Thank you for clarification. The rules say black cells cannot be "adjacent." I thought it was pretty standard that adjacent means including diagonals, but I guess I was wrong. Perhaps next time the rule should be "black cells cannot share a side."
