Thermo variant #19: Maximal Thermos 2
(Published on 21. November 2021, 14:00 by djorr)
I've made a few thermo variants. All are standard thermo sudokus + an extra rule. Check out the others using the following link:
Thermo Variant Series puzzles
If you enjoy "Maximal Thermos", I invite you to look at the others with the same (or similar) constraint:
14. Maximal Thermos
19. Maximal Thermos 2
21. All Maximal Thermos are Given
23. Incomplete Maximal Thermos
26. Maximal Thermos 3: Stubs
31. All Maximal Thermos are Given 2
35. Maximal Thermos 4ever
Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along thermometers increase from the bulb end.
Variant: The thermos in the grid are maximal thermos. This means two things:
(1) the digit in the bulb equals the length of the thermo
(2) the tip of the thermo cannot be extended by a king's move to a non-thermo cell to create a larger thermo.
For example, if r6c6 is an 8, then r5c7, r7c7, r6c5 and r7c5 cannot be a 9.
