I've done a quite a lot of these XV puzzles now and this one was on the easier side

Besides using letters it's really helpful to use different colours for values lower and higher than 5.

Great puzzle.
I always solve these using letters instead of colors where A+I = B+H = C+G = D+F = 10
Then at the end I figure out which of A and I, which of B and H and so on is the smaller value and I recode them so that A, B, C and D are smaller than 5.
I makes it easier to think about the numerical values of the cells. Colors do not have that property.
And always watch out for 5.

Very fun puzzle!! That V constraint was very sneaky but gave a very lovely eureka moment :)

Smooth and pleasant for me until the disambiguation which gave me a bit of a headache - like others I forgot the negative V constraint. Doh!

That was great! Thanks!

This was great! I also think it was a lot easier than the previous one for me. I solved it in record time. I just had a bit of trouble with the disambiguation right at the end of the coloring, but other than that, smooth sailing!

colouring this one was easier than the previous one but figuring out the numbers to match took awhile – got too fixated on the cage restriction. the logic for the numbers was great fun

That was a huge colouring mess. Great puzzle anyway.

It was extremely hard for me to put in the numbers after colouring, and very hard to get the colours correctly. I would rate this **** for me. It was all the more pleasing when everything fell into place.
