Bridge Over Troubled Water (Hidden Whispers Series #3)
(Published on 7. January 2022, 03:13 by apiyo)
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Digits along thermometers must increase from their bulb. The grey square in box 4 is an even digit.
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 must visit all cells highlighted green. In addition, it must visit Exactly 1 cell along every thermometer, but never the bulb. (A green cell on a thermo counts as that thermo's whisper cell.)
Solve at f-puzzles (Set mode to Setting and use Cosmetic Tools/Line to draw the line.)
Solve at CtC (Note that the CtC pen tool doesn't draw diagonally, so f-puzzles is a bit easier to use.)
----
This is the third in a series of hidden whisper puzzles I've built. You can try the others here:
Shhandwich (Sandwich and renban clues)
Kill-o'-the-Whisp (Killer clues)
Solution code: All German Whisper digits, no spaces, from rows 3, 6 and 7.

Fascinating and very hard puzzle! So many possibilities to go wrong if not totally focussed. I'm really happy to bring this journey to an end. Thx:)

Hard but not too hard - 4 stars difficulty for me. (Or maybe it's 4 stars solving it on Penpa, but 5 stars otherwise, haha! Because how well pencilmarking works in Penpa.)

This is as mindbogglingly nasty as it is rewarding! Five stars for difficulty in my world. Thanks for the great puzzle!
