Here's my solve of your puzzle.
I did rate it an average difficulty unlike the majority of the forum, but it took me a bit longer to solve. Still, I love these whisper puzzles. Keep them coming!

break-in requires knowing the "checkerboard principle". after that, it's fairly easy.

Normally I’m not into loop puzzles but this one was done nicely

Thank you for this delightful puzzle! I was not sure how to approach it at first, but everything unfolded and flowed so smoothly and thoughtfully!

Lovely puzzle, but at least for me more like 3 star instead of a 2 star difficulty!
