I'm usually used to palindrome puzzles (I love those!) and this one felt harder than most I've done so I'm surprised it only has 2*
It was very fun to play and I like the original ending, thank you so much for sharing !

A cygnet from cygne. Very pretty! (albeit rapidly covered by a multitude of colors in my solve)
