Unshackled Whispers
(Published on 22. November 2023, 18:12 by Florian Wortmann)
It's been quite a long time since my last whisper puzzle. Happy solving!
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits may not repeat on the marked diagonals.
German Whispers
Neighbouring digits on a green line have a difference of at least 5. Digits can repeat on the line if allowed by the other rules.
Ratio Pairs
Digits joined by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. Not all black dots are given.

Yeah I've solved a few three stars easier than this, had to do a LOT of scanning once you work out the GW lines' polarity! 3 stars and "very nice" from me!

Thank you for solving and the feedback! I see the difficulty has gone up to 3* by now. I should have added a couple more clues for the endsolve... two 2-cell whispers on the positive diagonal would have been the choice.

Thank you for this nice whispers puzzle, Florian Wortmann! I agree with kporadzinski and also have given 3/5 stars difficulty. Anyways, the solve has been a very pleasant challenge.Thank you for setting and sharing!

I agree with what @SamuPiano wrote, but I wouldn't say it's 2-star difficulty. In my opinion - a solid 3 stars.

Elegant break-in and solution path, and beautifully symmetric grid!
