I had a great fun with this.The opening isnt 2 star i thought.Cant start without trial-n-error

Yeah, this is the hardest of the initial 4 puzzles imo. Johan's puzzles tend to be kind of hard

Very nice, too

A possible logical path:
1) [Draw the obvious L pentomino at the bottom. This pentomino divides the grid into a left part and a right part connected through some kind of corridor.]
2) [Notice there are relatively more D's in the left part than there are E's. In particular, focus on how this works out for the D in the top left.]
3) [Which B belongs to the same pentomino as the rightmost A on the top row?]

Yeah, this is more or less the path I took, but somehow, after doing 1 and 2 I was not able to go through 3 and end the puzzle without some t'n'e
