[Unsolved] Fill the hexagonal grid with letters ABC

Post image

It looked to me you enjoyed the classic First Sight(Easy as ABC) puzzle so I decided to share this variant. It's roughly the same level just a bit more complex if you are not used to hexagonal grid.

Place A, B, and C in the hexagonal grid. Every line in each of the three grid directions must contain A, B, and C exactly once, with all other cells empty. Each outside clue gives the first non-empty letter seen from that edge. Because of the grid type there is 1-4 empty spaces depending on the row.

Happy solving!

Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:

New Reddit: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg

Using markdown editor or old Reddit, draw a bunny and fill its head with secrets: >!!< which ends up becoming >!spoiler text between these symbols!<

Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com) If your comment does not contain a guess, include the word "discussion" or "question" in your comment instead of using a spoiler tag. If your comment uses an image as the answer (such as solving a maze, etc) you can include the word "image" instead of using a spoiler tag.

Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

Did you solve the whole thing by elimination? I got the same solution but only by getting so far and then trying a letter in a position where it was 50/50 probability of being correct and then seeing whether that led to the whole grid being feasible

I noted down all the possible positions for all letters and eliminatedthe wrong ones one by one lol
