That was so hard… I think I must have been missing something because I keep having to resort to trial and error. I’d love to see a video solution of someone solving it …

Wow. That was hard. Though i thought i knew where to look i couldnt see the breakthrough for a long time. Brain overheated, small cold beer should help...But satisfied now, thank you.

A big thank you to everyone who has solved, rated or commented on the puzzles in this series so far. I'm glad to see so many have enjoyed them! As always I appreciate the feedback and comments.
I have a couple more ideas on this theme to develop, but I don't expect to have them constructed quickly enough to keep publishing daily...
In the meantime, if you enjoyed these, please check out my other puzzles. There are a few puzzles I've published recently that not many people have seen or solved yet...
Thanks! -SJ
