It's a shame this pretty image has many possible solutions. It could have been modified in order to get a unique solution, which was easy to do, thus making it a real PBN puzzle.

Don't think it's correct that a puzzle gets high difficulty markings when it's basically unsolvable. Unfortunately, that's the correct marking.

This creator once argued (successfully) that a puzzle didn't need to be solvable to be a PBN. I disagree. It's only a pretty picture if it can't be solved as a puzzle.

I ended up doing trial and error in a couple areas and one of them ended up resulting in an alternate solution.
