Nice puzzle.
Spent 20 minutes not knowing what to do.
Then remembered the knight's move :)

Nice one. Even easier and for me more fun if you start with coloring the whole grid. So at the end you just need to count the circles of a color and get the digit and all of its cells immediately.

I rated this 1/5 difficulty.

Neat 1* counting circle puzzle! This puzzle was nice and would be a great puzzle for a beginner who hasn't seen or solved many (or any at all) counting circle puzzles. The antiknight constraint had some nice geometry with the circles to make the break-in straightforward.

The whole solve went smoothly and was a nice & quick puzzle. Thanks for sharing!

An irregular counting circles puzzle with no given digits that's genuinely approachable is quite an accomplishment! Loved it!
