Kill-o'-the-Whisp (Hidden Whispers Series #2)
(Published on 21. December 2021, 15:33 by apiyo)
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
The small number in the corner of a cage is the sum of its digits.
Digits along a thermometer increase from the bulb end.
Draw a German Whispers line in the grid that forms a single enclosed loop. The line must not cross itself and no cell may be visited twice. It may move orthogonally or diagonally. It must visit green cells and must not visit red cells. It must visit only and exactly 2 cells in each Killer cage. (The line can leave and re-enter a cage as required.)

This is the second in a series of hidden whisper puzzles I've built. You can try the others here:
Shhandwich (Sandwich and renban clues)
Bridge Over Troubled Water (Thermo clues)
Solution code: All the German whispers digits read left to right along row 3, row 5 and row 7 (no spaces.)

Nice puzzle! Maybe it can be added to the rule set that the whisper line may not cross itself.

Exciting break-in, tricky up to the very end, brutally difficult but brilliant. Just an incredible puzzle all the way around.
