I don’t usually go for the 3* puzzles (normally 1’s and 2’s for me), but this appeared at the top of my search and it intrigued me as to how the solve path would appear.
It was a joy to solve from start to finish, felt like I was dead on the right path the whole way! Challenging, but fun! Thank you so much
