Increasing X-Sums
(Published on 9. November 2021, 14:00 by djorr)
Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. Along thermometers, digits must increase from the bulb end. Digits outside the grid give the sum of the first X digits along its row/column with X being the first digit seen by the clue.
Variant: The digits that equal the x-sums clue must be in increasing order, starting from the X digit. For example, if an X-sum clue was 21, you cannot have 4+3+5+9 because 4-3-5-9 is not in increasing order.

Surprisingly the hardest part of this puzzle is the normal Sudoku. I thoroughly enjoyed this one though! really satisfying to see everything unravel.

Thank you so much! Yeah when setting it, I quickly realized how restrictive it gets! Still thought it was pretty cool though so I kept with it. Glad you enjoyed it!
