Hmm, stumped right out of the gate. Got one digit, and ... can't figure out what to do next.

Thank you for the colorblind tip. I would have mixed them up!

Very nice, thanks for setting!
Unfortunately I'm colorblind and had issues differencing the whispers/entropy lines. Luckily the whispers line was an actual whispers line in f-puzzles (could remove it).
For others with the same issue: The whisper lines are the X and O on top, entropy lines are at the bottom.
Reply: Sorry to hear you had trouble with the colors.
I will add a note to this puzzle. Also, if you tell me what color to use for entropic lines that will distinguish them from the whisper-green color, I can add a colorblind version to the links. Thanks!
>>> blue would work great.
DONE

Lovely puzzle! I really enjoy how the whisper lines, entropic lines, and X clues all interact.
