Don't Know What We Dig 'em For

(Published on 9. November 2021, 08:00 by twototenth)

Normal Sudoku rules apply. Gray lines must have the properties of either a Lockout line or a German Whispers line. On Lockout lines, the end digits must differ by at least 4, and the digits along the line cannot be between or equal to the end digits. On German Whispers lines, adjacent digits must have a difference of at least 5. The inequality must point to the smaller of the two adjacent digits.

I found this to be closer to 4.5/5 stars. I found the middle portion of the solve to be the most difficult part. It may be that I missed some simpler piece of logic that would have help resolved it for me, but I agree with playmaker that every deduction was a joy to find! Thanks for the puzzle.

Really nice interactions between the two types of constrains. Thank you!

This was surprisingly difficult with many continuous steps going on, but every deduction was so wonderful and I just couldn't believe it every time I made progress. Incredible puzzle there ;)

Really nicely done although I found it tricky myself! Some lovely logic.
