Rules
Normal Sudoku Rules apply: place the digits 1–9 exactly once in each row, column, and 3×3 box.
Find nine Nudge cells in the grid one in each row, column, and 3×3 box, each containing a different digit. The value of a Nudge cell is its digit + 1.
Natural cells: A natural (non-Nudge) cell has a value equal to its written digit.
Unique values per clue type: For each clue type below, no value may appear more than once across all clues of that type. Example: if one cage contains value 4, then no other cage may contain value 4.
German Whispers: Cells joined by a green line must have values that differ by at least 5.
White dots: Cells separated by a white dot have consecutive values.
Black dots: Cells separated by a black dot have values in a 1:2 ratio.
Cages: No value may repeat within a cage.
Blue diagonal: Values along the marked diagonal must not repeat.
Lösungscode: Bottom row (left to right)

Wow, this is the hardest puzzle I've solved without making any mistakes. Really complex.

Love the „unique per constraint“ rule. Quite difficult for me, but I’m happy that I managed it in the end. :)

Enjoyed this a lot :) I can tell a lot of thought has been put into how to make full use of the ruleset.

Very nice! Incredible how such a simple twist on rules (nudge) can be so mind boggling. A real fun challenge, thanks.
