(Published on 27. March 2023, 18:43 by Phistomefel)
Here are the rules of this puzzle:
- In every row, column and outlined 3x3-box, each of the digits from 1 to 9 has to be drawn in exactly once.
- Digits increase along a thermometer starting from the bulb end.
- The cells on a purple line contain a set of non-repeating consecutive digits, but not necessarily in order.
Solution code: The last two rows
