Play on CTC App
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits along thermometers must strictly increase from bulb to tip.
This puzzle is from a series of "nerd snipe" constructions, originally posted on the CTC fan discord server. The goal for this one is minimal cell coverage for a givenless thermo. My previous best had been 3 thermos covering 23 cells, but taking inspiration from Absolute GAS by FullDeck-Missing I was able to lower it to 21 cells!
Solution code: Row 1, followed by column 1
