Hi there, thanks for checking out my latest puzzle!

- German Whispers: Adjacent digits along a green line must have a difference of at least 5 -

Today was my turn to forget it's a flat mates puzzle. Only caught myself when I was going use the title spelling to Google for help with Squishdoku puzzles.
Thanks for not making a hard puzzle.
