I think you need to put in your rules, that in odd-length zipper lines, the total is the central digit.

At first, i forgot about the zipper rules, and treated the break-in zipper like an arrow...which was impossible. then i realized my error. once that was cleared up, it was smooth sailing. clean break-in and nice setting. thanks for sharing

The break-in was tricky, but after that, everything fell into place. I enjoyed it, thanks!

Smooth as silk. Clear solve path that is clever enough to keep your interest the whole way through. Beautiful puzzle!

Thanks for an enjoyable puzzle. For me, I'd say it was in the 1.5-2.0 range. It was very nice how the zipper lines and whispers interacted.

Really nice combination of lines ! After a "not that easy" break in, the solve had a perfect flow. Thank you for sharing :)

Thank you for this beautiful and fun puzzle, Flinty! For me the difficulty even felt like 2.5/5. Despite the fact that I already have solved some puzzles with Zipper lines, I still feel a little awkward with them. :)
So that might be the true reason why I found this puzzle harder than other solvers. Anyways, the solve has been good fun and especially the break-in was cool to figure out. Thank you for setting and sharing!
