How is the negative constraint like faerie?
You can't remember it.

Easy once you remember the negative constraint. Which I kept forgetting!

Why can’t you borrow money from a leprechaun? They’re always a little short. What’s the difference between an Irish wedding and a funeral? At a funeral, there’s one less drunk. What do you call a big Irish spider? A Paddy long legs. Thanks for the fun puzzle.

Once I noticed the pattern I didn't need the constraints anymore

Those white dots got me. I had to reread the rules to find out I had a few obvious next steps. Great puzzle.

Very nice puzzle.
The negative constraint gets me every single time. Especially in this one where the rules ended with "Not all xxx dots are give". Obviously I just registered that and didn't realize the different rule for those mysterious white dots.
Often setters really emphasize the negative constraint and for a good reason, imho.
But yeah, really enjoyed this one once I actually knew the rules. :)

Another fun puzzle. Thanks, Tingo. (I'm still working on 48 Stitches. It's challenging me. Not asking for a hint.)
- Thanks for playing. Good luck with 48 Stitches. I'm curious your feedback when you complete it. Cheers! - Tingo
