This was REALLY hard!

I got stuck a couple of times, even though I'd done this one before.

Very fun puzzle. Difficult, and I didn't even get what it was until very close to the end, so that was a nice surprise. However, I do tend to not look at the "big picture" when I'm so engrossed in solving a puzzle like I was on this one :).

Interesting that I found this under best "Easy" puzzles!

Cute.

Fun solve.

Great puzzle. Kristen, interesting that in the last dozen years this has worked its way up to "Intermediate". From reading older comments in general, it looks like what passed for hard or near-impossible 10-15 years ago is generally considered much easier nowadays.

I would rate this as average difficulty at most.
#17: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jun 5, 2023
I re-solved it, to see if it was any harder. It just takes a lot of counting, especially at the beginning, but it's a nice, straightforward solve.
