looked very intimidating but surprisingly a smooth solve

The puzzle is very approachable, but still I had to restart it twice. An uncommon situation for a 1 star puzzle. Probably the big number of clues made me careless and unreliable. That being said, thanks for setting

Beautiful, both visually and in flow
>>>NSM here - thank you! It was fun to see what I could come up with for a five length renban.
