Thank you to Nordy and Yttrio for the test-solves of this sudoku! Please enjoy!
Rules:
➡ Normal sudoku rules apply
➡ Draw a single loop of orthogonally connected cells into the grid. The loop may not touch itself, not even diagonally.
➡ All digits on the loop must differ by at least 5 with any other digit on the loop that it sees via knights move.
➡ Clues outside the grid are Loopy X-sums. They indicate the sum of the digits on the loop within the first X digits in the row or column, where X is the first digit in the direction of the clue.

This was a really fun one to test solve! I hadn't personally seen the whispers-esque knights move constraint before, and it ended up working beautifully with the Loopy X-sums!
