Nice one … neat logic
Interestingly, I solved this one much faster than yesterday’s puzzle … Probably due to not having done that many TomToms before and not immediately recognizing the patterns, but I found it much more obvious to see which clues in today’s puzzle are constraining vs yesterday’s puzzle.
Conversely, I solved yesterday’s puzzle faster than today’s. V nterr gung znal bs gur bcravat pyhrf ner rnfvre gb qvfgvathvfu guvf gvzr nebhaq, ohg V guvax gur qvssvphygl bs guvf chmmyr pbzrf sebz gur vagrenpgvba orgjrra gur gjragl naq gjragl-gjb pyhrf ba gur evtug.
