Very nice! Probably a 2.5 star difficulty I think, but I do lots of German Whispers! :-)
-- Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it, even if it is a easier one for you. I put this puzzle in a solver engine (to check for ambiguity) and the engine was able to solve it without the Kropki Dots by just using elimination technics. I didn't know how, but if you are searching for a challenge, you can find it out. :D

Changed the German flaw in the rule set.

Im deutschen Text ist die Definition des weißen Kropki Dots falsch, denke ich. Oder?
-- Ja. Das muss natürlich Differenz von 1 lauten. Dank dir für's Lösen und Feedback geben. :)

Might not be too much fun for the turtle, but it is for the solver. :)

Congrats on your first non-collab construction :) This was very fun, and I especially enjoyed the break-in. Lovely interactions between the various constraints.
-- Thank you very much for your kind words. ^^
