Heart Breaker (Arrow Sudoku)
(Published on 27. May 2021, 03:36 by FryTheGuy)
This is the fourth puzzle I am making in a series of arrow sudoku puzzles that require set theory to solve.
This puzzle has a logical solution path without using the thermo, but it increases the difficulty immensely.
Previous PuzzlesIf you are not familiar with set theory, watch Simon explain it.
Standard sudoku rules apply.
Numbers along an arrow sum to the number in the connected circle.
Digits on thermometers are strictly increasing from the bulb to the tip.

Delightful puzzle, brutal (and brilliant) break-in, and a very fun rest of the solve, rather smooth overall, thanks !

Very clever design series, worthy of "Poision Arrow", more and more friendly, thank you!

What an astonishing sudoku puzzle!
Just when I thought my break-in had some problems, those arrows suddenly resolved the final deduction piece and then the very smooth path afterwards, my goodness...
