Clone Lines / Linien Klonen
(Published on 23. February 2023, 21:47 by Ryx)
Normal Sudoku rules apply
Colored Lines are clones in that each colored line pair has the same numbers in the same position along their lines.
Numbers in a thermometer increase from the bulb end
Numbers separated by a white dot, along clone lines, differ by 1. Not all dots are given.

First time doing a clone line sudoku! This had a nice logical path to follow
@ cozoq - Thank you for the kind words. It was my first time setting one as well. It's been so popular, I feel like I should do another.

This was a ton of fun, thanks so much!
@ AdrianSimple - I am so glad you enjoyed it. I agree, it was very fun setting and solving.

Very nice. Enjoyed the interplay between the clones and the other limiting structures. Lots of fun. Thank you.
@ RussKozerski - Thank you for the kind words. I am glad you enjoyed it. I too found the interaction interesting, as I was setting and testing it.

On the question of multiple app links: if the solver does it, only they benefit; but when the setter provides them, hundreds benefit, and who knows how many more in posterity.

Thanks to Sven Neumann for CTC software and to the setter for linking to it. This is a very nice and not difficult puzzle. The million dollar question is: will Ryx, the setter, provide the CTC link for all his puzzles?
@ Fisherman -Thank you. The $2 answer is a qualified "yes". Yes for all future puzzles ... no for previous ones.
And for those that are interested, you can play any f-puzzles linked game in the CTC app, using the bookmarklet code provided by sudokuexhchange.com (just Google: f-puzzles to ctc ... and you will find it)

Added CTC links

Very nice solve path. Also you can get a bookmarklet to create sudokupad/CTC links directly from F-puzzles <3
@ erik - Thanks for solving, the kind words and the tip on the bookmarklet. I will definitely look into that!

Dear Ryx, do you know that an Angel gets its wings whenever more than ten people solve your puzzles? Keep up the good fight. Kindly include the CTC link to help out rookies like me.
@ Fisherman - Thanks for the encouraging words, but I have not bought the CTC app, so can't create puzzles in that variety. BTW, it took 15 solves for this puzzle, before it got its wings (a rating) ;-)
UPDATE: Thanks to erik, I now know how to make CTC links from my f-puzzle creation.

There are two solutions to this puzzle!
@ Termostat - I assume that is a joke, because its a clone puzzle ... ?

@ zrbakhtiar - Thank you!
