I really enjoyed that. Definitely slightly harder than a 1*, but only just.

Surprisingly tricky for such a small and simple puzzle, this is a nice step up from the previous puzzles in the series.

the "trick" to solving this puzzle easily:
ASSUME red = blue, show it is not (a short chain), and give the rest to an intern.
you're welcome. despite appearances, this is not a chocolate teapot

Great puzzle, thanks! Just under 11 mn, using letters to get some of the obvious ones in then pencil marks, thermos to help eliminate options. And yes, I find letters much easiler to use for parsing pencil marks, you can use unambiguous center and corner markings!!

30 minutes to solve, with some serious bifurcation. Coloring doesn't go very far in this one. This is too difficult for 1*

Rapidly becoming one of my favorite series. Thank you so much.
For those upset with the difficulty: 17 minutes, no bifurcation, and I’m generally a poor solver. I would agree it’s not very easy for a beginner, and if you don’t find the trick then it would be challenging, but there is a way to solve it easily.

Fun! Especially after I realized they are thermometers and not arrow. :)

Maybe I need to do more irregular Sudokus, because I wouldn't call this one star. However: It was a lot of fun, as are your other puzzles. Thanks for setting.
