Hook Shot (Slingshot + Palindrome)

(Published on 24. January 2024, 15:40 by mnasti2)

This was made for a speedsetting challenge to combine one of your favorite constraints with one of your least favorite constraints (a surprisingly fun exercise that I recommend setters try!). If you have seen some of my recent puzzles, you'll know which of the constraints is my favorite.

Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply.

Palindrome: The sequence of digits along a grey line reads the same in both directions.

Slingshot: If a bent arrow is present in a cell, the digit in the cell the arrow comes from appears in the grid in the direction of the arrow at a distance of N cells, where N is the digit in the arrow's cell.

Slingshot example:
