This was a great German Whispers puzzle. It took a little noodling but the name was a nice hint. Well done!

Very interesting using XV on Whisper lines, I've never seen that before! I tried solving WITHOUT using the Phistomophel trick, and it certainly doesn't work - so it's either impossible to figure out, or a good solid 3 star if you do know the trick! Fun puzzle. :-)

Very approachable if you know the power of the phist.

Not what I expected for a four star puzzle.
