So good! So satisfying to watch all the coloring resolve itself so neatly - thank you for this and for the whole series!

i think this would have been much more of a challenge if I didn't have practice on the rest of the series, especially with coloring scheme. i liked how well the kings constraint complemented the green dots. it felt like a fresh ruleset for someone who has been following this series.

Holy ****, that was a battle of coloring. Made a few keystroke errors along the way, but what a satisfying solve!! Wow!! Took me a hair under 50 minutes and I loved every second. Great, great puzzle. Definitely deserves a CtC feature

Thank you for this great puzzle, NurglesGift! I can only agree with the high praise of the comments below. I found the starting phase to be a real challenge. But the more Vs/Xs I knew, the more new deductions I could make. And I also enjoyed to be flabbergasted when loooking first at all those green dots. Fantastic set-up!

Really fun, the highlight (so far) of a great series. :)

I found this surprisingly hard, only to find out I completely forgot the kings move constraint during the entire solve. Lol!
So I guess this is easier than it was for me - still good fun though and a nice enhancement of the usual XV puzzles. Thank you!

Really cool twist.

I am officially addicted to these.

Seemed very daunting at first, but after the first couple of initial deductions, it flowed beautifully.

Yes please, more of this please.
I've been devouring your negative-constraint XV series at top speed (full-colouring puzzles are my favourite genre) and could feel I was at risk of burning out on them. This is an EXCELLENT extension on the theme and I will solve all of them I am presented.

After the latest couple of standard XV's I felt nicely prepared for this, thank you for setting them!
on 1. July 2024, 20:25 by NurglesGift
No worry, I will give you more of the standard XV's soon ;)
