(Published on 9. September 2021, 14:46 by riffclown)
Normal Sudoku and Lockout Line Rules apply.
Where lines meet, they cross.
All Diamond Values are odd.
Lockout Lines- Normal Lockout Line Rules Apply. Digits in directly connected Diamonds must differ by 4 or more and may not be repeated on the line. Digits on a line must fall 'outside' the range defined by their diamonds. Line digits may repeat if allowed by other rules.

Very clever, I found this quite challenging. Even tried the "advanced solve" by not reading the rules (Odd Diamonds!)
Seems like every Lockout Line puzzle is a winner, great ruleset!

Easy when compared to "Think outside...", but still provides a fun challenge. Lockout Lines for the win!
-riffclown Thank You for the kind remarks.
