Star Killer Part 2: The Whisper's Flight

(Published on 4. January 2024, 20:00 by FischmitFahrrad)

Standard Star Killer Sudoku rules apply (see below).

Additional constraints on stars:
  • The value of the two stars must differ by at least 5 in each row, column and box.

Additional constraints digits:
  • German Whispers: Adjacent digits along a green line must differ by at least 5.
  • Sandwich: Clues outside the grid give the sum of digits between 1 & 9 in that row or column.
  • Kropki: Digits in cells separated by a white dot must be consecutive.

Coloring is only cosmetical.

Star Killer Rules:
Place exactly two stars into each row, column and box. Stars may not share an edge (no diagonal constraint!). The number in the top-left corner of a cage (if given) gives you the number of stars, that are outside of the cage and share an edge with that cage.
Digits in a cage do not repeat and sum to the total X. The number in the top-left corner of a cage must be equal to the digit sum of X.
