I struggled a little bit with the break-in, but it flows really nice after that. Lovely puzzle!

This one was hard for me! I had to restart but did finally get there, although I think I might have had a flaw in my logic at one point. I think I’ll come back and solve this one again sometime. Very clever design!

Kind regards, sujoyku

I took away too long to understand what was going on with them but the way the diagonal played off the renban was very clever.

Thank you for your comment, MattYDdraig! I thought this might never get a confirmed rating, but maybe it will. :) Thank you for giving it a try! I am glad that you liked the diagonal/renban combination.
Kind regards, sujoyku
