Cages: Digits in cages cannot repeat and must sum to the value shown in the upper left corner of the cage.
Zipper Line: Along Zipper lines, pairs of digits equidistant from the center of the line have the same sum. For Zipper lines of odd length, that sum is the central digit on the line.

the first few digits were pretty obvious to me and then i just got stuck for a while and started pencilmarking for the life of me, it worked but i am sure there was a smarter way to do it lol

It was so much fun finding the first four digits. The way the cages and zipper lines interacted was just gorgeous. Fantastic puzzle!

Very visually appealing puzzle with some striking interactions between zippers and cages... I particularly enjoyed the symmetry of the break in.

great puzzle! Thank you for setting! felt a little harder than the two stars suggests, but maybe I didn't spot the correct path - as i had to juggle some serious multi-path logic to get unstuck :D
Thank you though, really appreciate the work.

Seemed a bit too easy for 2* but the logic/flow is just excellent, it was a joy to solve!

After taking some time to find a break-in, I zipped right through it. Very nice puzzle!

Great puzzle!! Flowed super nicely. Took me longer than I care to admit because I made a dumb mistake, haha. Thanks for sharing.

It's not often that I'm able to solve a puzzle with 2-star difficulty. It took a couple of jumps in logic that I probably wouldn't have been able to make a couple of months ago. So it was fun to see that I am, in fact, actually gaining skill. Thanks for the fun and challenging puzzle.
>> Oh, that's wonderful to hear! Thank you! Well done!
