Based on my solve time 3* but the break in (which was really cool) felt closer to 4. Very nice puzzle. Thanks!

How do you publish a sudoku every day? Some being 4 and 5 stars?

I also found the break-in very clever, but also very challenging. Not your everyday kind of sudoku-logic, which makes the solve even more satisfying. No smooth sailing afterwards for me either, two more deductions were necessary, one of which I also found quite hard.

Awesome puzzle Nico. Very enjoyable break-in, with a smooth flow thereafter, always giving you something to follow up on. Thanks for sharing.
