Thermo X Sudoku

(Published on 2. December 2020, 20:08 by Phistomefel)

This puzzle is a Thermo Sudoku with a diagonal constraint. A few words about the difficulty: I think that some of the logical steps in the intended solution path are very hard to find. Since the puzzle is rather short though, I graded it as "hard" rather than "very hard".

The usual sudoku rules apply. The digits on a thermometer increase starting from the bulb end. Additionally, both main diagonals contain each digit from 1 to 9 exactly once.

The puzzle is also available online via F-Puzzles. Have fun solving!

Solution code: 3rd and 6th row
