Trickling Down - Lockout Lines Sudoku
(Published on 27. August 2021, 13:31 by Mr.Menace)
- Lockout Line rules apply: Endpoints (Diamonds) must differ by at least 4. Digits on the line must be different than the endpoint values and must not fall between them. Each Lockout segment is treated as an independent Lockout Line. Digits can repeat if allowed by other rules.
Good luck!

Very nice ideas and a great puzzle. I had to try different options to finally be able to unwind the hidden connections between the lines, but figured out the logical path later.

First puzzle for me with lockout lines. And after solving it I'm sure I should do more of them. Fascinating puzzle!

Definitely one of my favourite puzzles I've solved in the past year I would say and what's great is that you somehow made it better!
