Mini Ludoku
(Published on 11. October 2023, 11:30 by Flinty)
Irregular Region Sudoku.
Place the digits 1 to 5 in each Row, Column and Region. The 5th Region includes the four corner digits, along with the central digit.
Anti-King Constraint.
Cells separated by a King's move in Chess cannot have the same digit.
Minimum.
The central digit is smaller than all the adjacent digits.
Thermometers.
Numbers on a thermometer strictly increase as they move away from the bulb.
The Yellow(!) Thermometer is purely cosmetic, or the puzzle would be broken.
I was so pleased with myself when I came up with the name Ludoku, but it looks like someone beat me to it with a much more accurate and intricate puzzle: Ludoku by ste221093. So I have annotated mine as 'Mini' Ludoku.
The puzzle difficulty is less than one star, but it was too pretty not to share.
Solution code: Row 1 (5 Digits)

Thank you all so much for the kind comments. @lalitk0300 that means a lot, thank you. :)
@PrimeWeasel - haha! - very nice! - I came up with the puzzle and then the name. I suspect you and @ste221093 came up with the name first and then did justice to the pun with great puzzles.
