As the others have stated, 2* seems very fair, took 17:35 for me. But it was enjoyable. Because I am colorblind, had to use the Fpuzzles (colors showed better than CtC), but I really enjoyed the puzzle, thank you

I got stuck once, regions tripped me up. Second try went through smoother. Agreed on 2-3 stars difficulty.

Thanks all for the comments, I haven't solved many puzzles yet on this website so hard to gauge difficulty. I've changed it from 4 to 2 stars. In my next puzzles I'll make sure that you actually need all the constraints. Glad you enjoyed it!

I clicked on this because it was 4 stars. Definitely not a 4 star puzzle, 2 tops. Not much of a challenge, but I still enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing it.

Good puzzle! Definitely not 4 stars, more between 2 and 3. Also i managed to solve it without using the diagonal constraint at all

I think the difficulty of this puzzle maybe 2 stars?
