Wow I didn't think I was going to ever figure out that break-in! That's one of the hardest puzzles I've seen in quite some time. "Very nice" construction. Thanks for sharing :)

Incredible! I cannot imagine how you could set such an elegant construction with this ruleset. Thank you so much for sharing.

Yeah, that somehow solved uniquely, and very nice at that. How even do you set a puzzle with a start this intricate, that's a smooth solve afterwards.

Brilliant! Tough break-in... so many deductions before a single digit can be placed, and with no givens and such a simple ruleset that unfolds the whole puzzle.
As noted, flows very nicely after the break-in.
An exciting adventure - thanks :-)

Very well done. Needs a good thinking at the start. More fluid after.
Loved it.
