4 July Fireworks

(Published on 4. July 2023, 05:00 by Will Power)

Normal Sudoku rules apply. Numbers on thermometers increase from the bulb end (the center of each firework color is a bulb end). Numbers with a white dot between them are consecutive. Not all possible dots are given. The gray cell is a maximum cell, which is greater than all orthogonal neighbors.

At some point I had to pick one of 2 options, either I missed some disambiguating clue or the puzzle misses a hint.

I managed to solve this, but there was a point that I just had to arbitrarily pick one of the two most constraining options, and it solved from there. I'm sure there was some reasoning I missed to force that choice, but I don't see what it was.
Still an interesting one that really made me think.

I struggled with this one too. Most of your puzzles are fun for me to solve, but obviously I missed something in this one.

@Will Power. Did this puzzle change from 2 to 3 stars? It thought it was a 2 star when I started. And like you said, I always learn something for a hard puzzle. But sometimes I feel I miss something and just can't figure it out. I often re try a puzzle like that after a few days.

@Baklin On this website, the difference between a 2-star and a 3-star puzzle is quite large. Every once in a while, I throw in a puzzle with a bit more challenge to keep the presentation diverse. Sorry that this was not as enjoyable for you. I hope you learned a few techniques/tricks to help you solve future puzzles. Thanks for playing. -Will power

I agree with another comment - tough for me, but I did it. I'm sure I didn't follow the most elegant path, but I'm proud to have solved it. Thank you, and Happy 4th from the US.

Tough one for me but I made it one step at a time. I’m sure there was a more elegant path but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Thanks!
