Wow! So nice.
This puzzle is easy and difficult at the same time. So simple and obvious once you find the next step, but so very difficult to find it.
Some really enjoyable logic in this puzzle. What a delight to work this one.

Thank you so much Fisherman!! The border being inclusive is intentional! Though I never thought to consider diagonal Kropki dots, I'll have to add them in next time! :D

Every enjoyable. Now, about the elusive box 5, the border is surprisingly inclusive. Unfortunately, dots can't be placed diagonally in this great puzzle. Maybe next time? Please?
