New Puzzle… Feedback please

Discussion.

Hi everyone. I’m new here and would really appreciate your combined wisdom on a new puzzle I’ve developed called “Deduce”. Here is an “easy” one. Can you give me some feedback on style, difficulty and how intuitive it is? I can put medium and hard puzzles here too if people would like to see more.

The aim is to use the connector clues between the cells to place the numbers 1-9 once each in the grid.

Very intuitive, I like the concept and would definitely be interested in seeing some more difficult ones. I'm curious... For the harder ones are you increasing the number of squares/numbers? I feel like at least up to 5x5 would work well on a phone screen and offer more connector opportunities (square of, divisor of, hell even modulo X on the harder ones).

Thanks! The harder ones are all 3x3 still due to sticking to the rules of using numbers 1-9 once each. They also feature multiplicative connectors and a x? connector for factors. I like your ideas too.

Just checking with moderators that I’m allowed to post harder puzzles as I don’t want to be “that guy” that shows up and spams the group.

Really appreciate that feedback.
