Really glad I persevered with this one. It probably is 3.5-4*s but it’s a fun achievable challenge

Thanks for the feedback and for solving, in retrospect I found the difficulty hard to gauge on this one.

I also gave this puzzle a 4* and wondered the whole time if I was missing some easier steps.

Hey PinkNickels, I had the same impression. I have given 4/5 difficulty. It may be very well possible that I missed some easier steps though.
Anyhow, thank you for setting and sharing this tricky puzzle, Jolly Rogers!

Maybe it's because I am rather tired, but I found this a lot more difficult than expected for a 2*. Anyone else?
