Great puzzle! Also, I want to point out that I really appreciate your dedication to providing multiple online tool links, to give us the choice :)

Thanks Jesper! I make multiple links for a few reasons. One reason is that Penpa+ usually produces an image of small enough size to be uploaded, and also since each tool has different functionalities and work differently on different devices.

Lovely puzzle! Somehow logic right after the break-in felt harder than the break-in itself. What's wonderful about this one is I never felt stuck for more than couple minutes, next deduction was always well messaged. Thanks for setting it!

I'm glad that I was able to solve this beautiful puzzle in my second attempt. This time I had the right idea for the break-in immediately and got to discover the satisfying flow of nice deductions afterwards.
Thank you for the puzzle!

The break-in logic is crucial to make real progress, so well done in spotting it in your 2nd attempt. I'm really pleased that your 2nd attempt went smoothly :-)
