Hmm, I've used 3 wings so far and it's still not solved! And I doubt that there's a single step solution for this one. Can one of you guys prove me wrong?

Beautiful solution Gianni!!! I failed to spot the Remote Pair (15) which was a key to reducing the steps needed. To dongrave; don't despair, my friend, as I used 4 wings to reach a conclusion. I started with the XY-Wing per Gianni, then spotted an XYZ-Wing (-249), which was probably an unnecessary step, and followed that with two W-Wings. The beauty of this puzzle was that one could find a variety of Wings which could be implemented in solving (hence the title). I didn't even mention the X-Wings which were also present. A wing smorgasbord this one was!

cheers all...immp
