If you created this puzzle to fish for compliments, you've succeeded. That was a fun new rule.

Brilliant puzzle,: thank you for setting it! I looked at it and thought I'd never stand a chance, but surprised myself.

Razor sharp setting for the smoothest of solve paths. Fun and approachable, thanks! :]

What an interesting new mechanic! Thanks for this puzzle! Like others, I got stuck for quite a while.
Minor spoilers: getting unstuck required a much closer look at boxes 3 and 9.

Very cool. It would be helpful if the hooks were paler, it gets a bit hard to read.

I enjoyed this! Thinking about the two full boxes at the right time made the puzzle extra interesting.

approachable 2*, more a 1 star if looking at the right place

Very speedy and smooth while not being boring. Interesting questions to be asked. Super approachable 2*.

Started out smoothly, then I got stuck and felt like how is this 2 stars, and wondered "is there some inherent modulo math logic involved?"
But then I found the right location where to look at and everything unraveled nicely.
Very nice and unique (to me) logic, thanks for setting&sharing!
