This puzzle is built around a weird discovery I stumbled into. Others have surely made this same discovery, but these ideas were new to me so they may be new to you! Difficulty estimated at 2.5 stars.
Rules:
Normal Sudoku, Arrow, and XV rules apply:
- Normal Sudoku: Place the digits 1 to 9 in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Arrows: Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the corresponding circle.
- X Clues: Digits joined by an X sum to 10. Not all Xs are necessarily given.
Solve online:
Solution code: Row 9

Very fun, smooth puzzle that showcases well that one interaction with Xs and arrows!

I for one had not realized this logic until your puzzle, and it made for an interesting ten minutes before I found out what was going on.
So thanks for the educational nudge, dedicating the first morning coffee to you ;)

Yes, I think others did, but it was a nice puzzle and execution.

I think I have seen this break-in idea somewhere before. But even though I figured it out quite quickly here, the puzzle still needed some further nice tricks. Therefore I have given 3/5 difficulty. Overall, the solve path has a very nice flow of logic. Thank you for setting and sharing this amazing work of art, Nordy!
