There are eight L shapes in this puzzle. No, I didn’t forget the green ones: two of the peach ones aren’t L-shaped. There are ten lines bent into right angles, but two are bent in a different direction from the others. And I don’t care what anyone says, it’s not an L if the horizontal bit is longer than the vertical bit!
Can I interest you in a fine manufactured home? It’s so wide! Almost, but not quite, twice as wide as a single-wide. In fact, it’s 1.67 times as wide, and 1.33 times as tall as a normal 9x9 Sudoku.
It’s an XV Thermo puzzle, except you can’t see it all at once. You can see just enough to fill in one cell, after which you’ll be able to see more. This is the second of four puzzles exploring a guided solve path using Fog of War.
It’s a Full House of Zs. It turns out there are a few different ways to arrange the things, and rotating a Z 180º gives you… a Z.

Someone might have been born in 1972. Maybe. Or there could be some other reason that’s a good year. It is, though.
White Kropki dots are simple, and there are only a couple of them. XV clues are more interesting, and there are a lot of those. Still not enough to make it clear how to solve the puzzle, but that’s because of the global constraint. This puzzle demonstrates an overt bias against knights: no knight’s moves allowed!
