Haha very bizarre. 3 stairways in a week. Again thanks for the feedback!

Very odd, we have three stairway to heaven themed puzzles published in the space of three days!

Fun opening, and nice interactions between different constraints. Agree with other comments that it got bogged down a little towards the end... I ended up using a kind-of convoluted logic chain to resolve the last killer clue.

Yes the solution path was a bit stop-starty for my liking! I'm going to have a second crack on a new puzzle using the same constraints and see if I can refine it a bit, make it flow a bit better, so watch out for the next one! Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it!

Not bad at all for a first attempt. There were just a couple of spots where (for me) the logic ground to a halt and it really was not clear where to look.

A bit tricky in spots, but overall it feels elegant. Great debut puzzle!

Solution code amended! Column 1 followed by row 9! Apologies

Also having problem with the solution code.

Your solution code seems to be wrong. I solved the puzzle correctly, but it doesn't get accepted.
