This puzzle was really enjoyable. I am fairly familar with german whispers and a bit of renban, but this was my first time with nabner lines. The break in was great once I determined that bit of logic out.

I rated this 2/5 difficulty.
This puzzle was very nice and well-constructed. Pacing throughout was good, and there wasn't a point throughout where I got too stuck. Very entertaining puzzle to solve. This took me slightly longer than normal for 2/5 difficulty puzzles, but that is likely because I am not too proficient with nabner lines. All of the necessary logic was simple but not necessarily trivial. It was difficult enough to be fun, but remained approachable throughout. Either way, great puzzle!

@PinkNickels. Sure no problem. Gold lines: both in column 3, the line in box 2, the top and bottom lines in box 5, the line in box 6, and for box 3 gold is only R2C9 and R3C9. The rest of the line in box 3 is green.
green lines The square in box 1, the line in box 3 (less the two cells stated above), the line in box 7 column 2, and the line in box 9. I'll have to keep colors in mind for the future! thanks for pointing that out to me.

Any chance you can clarify for me which is gold and which is green? I am colorblind. I can tell the orange and purple, but the green and gold look identical to me.
