Early Bird Gets the Worm
(Published on 28. October 2021, 17:37 by Telope)
Rules
- Normal Sudoku rules apply, but in this grid, three birds are trying to catch worms.
- The birds (Vs) indicate that the two neighbouring cells sum to 5.
- Draw three Worms (one-cell width lines), marked in pink, that do not touch themselves or each other (even diagonally).
- Worms move orthogonally, are nine cells long, and contain the digits 1 to 9 in numerical order.
- The three green circles show the sum of all worm cells in their box.
- The three green lines read as two-digit numbers, (possibly back-to-front,) and show the sum of all worm cells in their box or boxes.
- Green cells cannot be worm, except for the given pink worm cells.
Solution code: The 9 digits from the top row.

Another great puzzle! Solved this right after "Consecutive Snake" (which is great puzzle as well). I kept thinking there was a 2-cell thermometer in the grid... so that delayed my solve time a bit. I recommend not doing that.
The third bullet point is a little confusing. The way it's currently written suggests that the pink regions must belong to 3 different snakes. I might rewrite it like this: "Draw three Worms (one-cell width lines) that do not touch themselves or each other (even diagonally). Some worm cells have been shaded pink."
