My Second Sudoku
(Published on 1. May 2024, 16:03 by PersonWhoExists50306)
Fill the grid with digits 0-9 such that there are no repeats in a row, column, region, or either diagonal.
Digits in cages must sum to the number indicated in the corner. They may repeat, as long as it doesn't break any other rules.
Cells in spaces separated by black Kropki dots must have a ratio of 1:2. Not all dots are given.
Digits on the thermometer must increase or stay the same going from bulb to tip; they can not decrease.
This was made with sirxemic's sudoku maker, and I had to follow the computer's solving process at first. I was later able to solve this mostly by myself.

Vv enjoyable puzzle, initially looks like there isn't enough information but unfolds beautifully
reply from PersonWhoExists50306: Fun fact: that one Kropki dot took this from having 70 solutions to having a unique solution. Glad you enjoyed!

I replaced the diagonals highlighted version with another one I found slightly more aesthetically pleasing

Added a link to a version where the diagonals have lines

Nice second puzzle. I would say it's about 3.5* - not as easy as 2* for most people.

I enjoyed this, and I found it pretty easy going. I did myself a major favour by painting the diagonals in!

Thanks for the feedback, PinkNickels and pms_headache. I just assumed it would be a 1* because I was able to solve it. The difficulty rating has been adjusted.

I mistakenly underrated it

Fantastic! I would say this is unlikely to be scored a 1*, probably a 2*. Either way, what a fun solve. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent puzzle. As the solve count indicates, this is not a 1-star puzzle. I would say 3-4 stars. And very nice!
