Between Zig Zags (Sudoku)
(Published on 30. August 2021, 17:19 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along a between line must be strictly between the digits on the circled ends of the line. (IE: if the digits in the circles are 5 and 9, the line may contain 6,7, and 8.) The digits on the line can be in any order, and may repeat when allowed by the other rules. Digits on a thermometer must strictly increase from the bulb end. (Thermometers have thicker lines than between lines.) Digits in a killer cage must sum to the little number in the upper left, and may not repeat in the cage. (For clarity, there is a 7-cage in R7, C7,8, and a 9-cage in R9, C7,8.) Numbers outside the grid indicate the sum of the digits on their indicated diagonal. Digits may repeat when otherwise allowed. Comments welcome!
Solution code: First row of puzzle, and fourth column of puzzle (read top to bottom). Enter as a string of 18 digits, no spaces.
