Two Gates
(Published on 15. October 2021, 22:22 by Qodec)
- Normal sudoku rules apply: Each row, column, and region indicated by thick borders in the grid must contain the digits 1 to 9 once each.
- Disjoint groups: Digits cannot appear in the same relative position within different box regions. (E.g. r1c1 and r4c4 cannot contain the same digit.)
- German whispers: Adjacent digits along a green line must have a difference of 5 or more. Digits on these lines may repeat if allowed by other rules.
- Thermometers: Both grey paths indicate thermometers. The digit in the bulb is smaller than the digit in the tip.

Took me 5 hours but I did it! Very nice break-in that I kept messing up. Got pretty stuck half-way through but came back to it today and found the last break-through. Thanks for the challenge! My first 4* completion on LMD.

I am bitter sweet about this puzzle bcs I do not think I solved it elegantly. But still good puzzle!

Brilliant puzzle! The opening phase went very smoothly for me, but I spent a lot of time on the last half. Still enjoyed it massively!

wow super great solve. Really struggled with the break in (not great with disjoint group) but once I found it it was very smooth!
