What a flow! What seemed like a wide open puzzle turned out to be very tightly restricted once you get the hang of the rules. Beautiful construction!

Loved this puzzle. Surprised it had a solution, I felt like there was a missing clue in the beginning. Love the simple setup.

A while back I made one or two puzzles with the combined LK/sandwich rule set. I never considered it would be possible to construct something like this - truly amazing, and such a smooth solve too!
I see you made *four* puzzles with the LK/Sandwich combination. I'll have to give them a try!

Incredible! Not easy, but super nice solving path!

Rätsel ohne Vorgaben im Diagramm sind schon erstaunlich, aber ein Rätsel nur mit Little-Killer-Pfeilen zu konstruieren ist eine beachtliche Leistung.
Puzzles without digits in the diagram are already amazing, but to construct a puzzle with only little-killer arrows is quite an achievement.

Yet another amazing puzzle! Beautifully constructed.

"Some puzzles just write themselves"
Wish I could say the same about solving them :)
Very clever puzzle again. Had a bit of a struggle with the last 2 clues. Finding the break in felt like looking for something that's right under your nose, well hidden without really being hidden, just not where your intuition tells you to look first. Well done !

It took me a while to spot the break in. After that it was nice. Logical deductions all around.

It's ridiculous how smoothly that solved with so few clues.
Reply: some puzzles just write themselves… this was one of them. I just happened to discover it and had to share it. Glad you enjoyed it too!
