String of letters (Posted on 2005-10-06) Difficulty: 3 of 5
The 25 cells below are connected so that are formed 5 strings of 5 cells. In each string you can read the letters A, B and C in this order (disregarding the empty cells in the string), and more, in the whole grid each letter appears in every row and in every column once, and only once.
             +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
             | A |-|   | | B |-| C |-|   |
             +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+

             +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+

             | C | | B |-| A | |   |-|   | 
             +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
Fill the 7 x 7 grid below the same way (there are 7 strings, each one with 7 cells), using the letters A, B, C and D. One letter (D) is already placed.
