Tête-á-tête (Between Line Nabner)
(Published on 11. September 2023, 08:00 by tallcat)
I had successfully resisted the 'Nabner' resurgence of recent weeks until someone mentioned the idea of combining them with my old favorite Between Lines. After some wrangling, this puzzle is the result and I am pleased how it turned out (with some echoes of my older puzzle 'Critical Mass'). This also is a jump back up to my more usual level of difficulty. Happy solving!
Normal Sudoku rules apply
Between Lines: Cells along lines between two filled circles must have values between those in the circles. Digits may repeat on lines if allowed by other rules.
Nabner: Digits cannot repeat on golden lines and lines cannot contain consecutive digits, regardless of order. For example, if a line has 3 anywhere on it, then 2 and 4 cannot appear on that line

Solution code: Row 6 (left to right) and column 4 (top to bottom). 18 digits, no spaces

Great puzzle! Those Nabner-lines keep being weird, but also interesting and fun. Thank you.

This is my first 5 star difficulty solve I think, what a puzzle! Great interactions, I found it very hard but with rewarding deductions when i eventually found them :)

Such an intricate and cleverly constructed puzzle! That one breakthrough around row 3 was mad, but the whole solve was wildly engaging from start to finish :0
