Gossiping Arrows
(Published on 28. April 2022, 01:32 by AnalyticalNinja )
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the attached circle, the two digit circle reads from left to right.
Adjacent cells on a green line have to differ by at least 5.
All arrows (including the attached circles) are fully overlapping with the green lines.

Pretty straight forward once you think about which must be high and low digits. Enjoyed the solve (24m)
- Thanks! Glad you enjoyed this one. I think it was my first attempt at combining a line constraint with arrows and it holds a special place for me as a result. :)

Flows extremely well, from the initial variant logic to the regular sudoku afterwards. Sadly I made a mistake in one of the arrows and didnt notice until the puzzle was a giant deadly pattern fiesta, but it was easy enough to fix
- I'm glad you enjoyed the puzzle, and weren't deterred after the initial mistake. Thanks so much for the great feedback!

I'd agree that this seems like more than 1 star, but it doesn't feel like 2 stars, either. I'm still new to the harder stuff here, and it's rare for me to find a 2 star puzzle that I can crack unless I'm in the right mood. This one I actually had to restart after 40 minutes because I filled in some stuff wrong because I missed some core logic relating to the arrow overlap.
It was a really fun solve once I redid it and realised what I'd missed. Thanks for setting!
- Thanks for giving it another chance after you got stuck! I really appreciate the feedback, and I'm so glad you enjoyed solving it!

quite easy, but some nice interactions
- Glad you enjoyed the interactions I was able to create in this puzzle. I feel like this tested the waters enough for me to continue pursuing this concept and create more puzzles around it.

I will disagree with Dermerlin and say that it was really a 1 star difficulty puzzle. Where to look initially was well telegraphed, and the resulting sudoku in the end wasn't hard to scan. But still, a very nice fun puzzle!
- Yeah I haven't quite locked in how to create a difficult but doable puzzle using German Whisper Arrows, but I will keep working at it and post more once I make them. Glad you enjoyed this puzzle, even if it wasn't quite as difficult as you might usually enjoy!

Seems to me more than 1 star. But fun anyway.
- I'm glad you enjoyed it, even if the difficulty level wasn't quite to your taste!
