Place one of the four letters A, B, C or D in each of the blue-coloured cells. No letter can be horizontally or vertically adjacent to itself. The yellow-coloured tables above and to the left of the grid indicate how many times each letter appears in that column or row.
This is an extended version of ABCD.

Try www.newenigma.com/enigma; host is Colin. I think "Charlie" is also a habitué; discussions stay open until the magazine posts its solution (about six weeks after publication). Thanks for the hanjie reference.
