I found it much harder than 2* (probably high-end 3* for the break in). Anyway, great puzzle as always!

Thank you for your comment, 9Rookienumbers! I am glad that you liked the puzzle. As a setter, I often struggle with estimating the difficulty level. It seems I rated it a little too light here.

I am a little surprised this is rated as 2*, I would say it is a 3*, but perhaps this one just got to me a little more than most 2*. Regardless, nice setting!

Thank you for your comment, PinkNickels! I uploaded it as a 2 star difficulty, but it seems that most solvers are agreeing with you that it should be 3 stars (which is completely fine by me). More often, I err on the side of setting the difficulty too high. It seems I can go wrong in both directions. :)
Anyhow, I am glad that you liked the puzzle.
Kind regards, sujoyku

Hey sujoyku,
By the time I had solved it, the user difficulty rating was in play (2* at the time). It appears it has now moved to 3*. I believe this is because the earlier solvers tend to be the wizards, and so they likely find the puzzles easier than the average solver (e.g., SKORP). I rate myself as a decent solver, but nowhere near SKORP-level :). Thanks for all the puzzles you provide to the community!

Amazing puzzle! I was very pleased when I clocked onto the break-in, and it was a fun solve from there! <3

Really cool puzzle. It may be just me, but I found it 3* difficulty.

Thank you for your comment, rameshsrivats! I am glad that you liked it. And as I mentioned: I struggled between 2 and 3 stars. Recently, I seemed to occasionally overrate difficulty. Therefore I went with 2 stars. Thank you very much for sharing your assessment of the difficulty level.
Kind regards, sujoyku
