Seeing Doubles Sudoku
(Published on 11. April 2021, 02:46 by JWWJ2525)
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- No bifurcation needed.
- Digits in circles must sum to digits along the connected arrow.
- Digits must increase from the bulb in thermometers.
- Digits in solid gray circles (including bulbs) must be odd.
- Digits on gray lines must form palindromes.
- Digits in cages must not repeat and must sum to the value in the upper left of the top cells in the cage.
- Digits along a diagonal must sum to the value in the margin.
- It's just as important to know where doubles aren't as it is to know where doubles are.
- If you want to make the puzzle easier, I provide two more given digits after the puzzle below.
Notes:
- For an easier version of this puzzle, place a 2 in R1C7 and R9C4.
- This is the first puzzle I've created, so any and all feedback is appreciated. JWWJ2525
Solution code: Type digits from row 1 and 9 (no spaces).

The solution code is wrong, can you fix it? Nice puzzle!

I am quite sure I have a valid solution, but the solution code gets marked wrong. Could you please check that you have written in the right code?
Also, I think you meant to write 6, not 2, when it comes to the two optional extra digits? The puzzle breaks immediately if you place a 2 in those cells
