Pinwheel of Whispers #2
Rules:
1. Normal Sudoku rules apply. The numbers 1-9 appear exactly once in every column, row and 3x3 box.
2. German Whispers Lines. Adjacent digits on the green lines must have a difference of at least five. Digits may repeat on the lines if allowed by other rules.
3. Regional Sum Lines. All German Whispers Lines are also Region Sum Lines. On each line that passes through multiple regions, digits have the same sum in each region it passes through.
While testing, I felt this puzzle was easier than the original, hence why I gave it a 2-star difficulty rating, but solvers who are familiar with this combination of rules may find it to be a 1-star difficulty. If you enjoyed this puzzle, click here to try the original version which featured 6-cell-lines, instead of the 4 and 5-cell-lines used here.
I would love to hear what your thoughts of this puzzle are in the comments, and I am curious to hear how it compares to the original.
Solution code: Please enter the digits from Row 1 and Row 6 (left to right)

This puzzle is easy ... IF you are an expert with these constraints. Beginners will struggle.
I like this puzzle because you are constantly skating just past the edge of "impossible". And yet, the solution path is perfectly clear, and perfectly narrow.

I really enjoyed this one.
It took me a little too long to get started, but once I figured how these rules work together it flowed nicely.
