[This puzzle was created with the friends in my stream. Thanks for your help everyone! You can find a VOD of its creation here ]
Jay Dyer Deconstruction: Place 9 non-overlapping 3x3 boxes into the grid. Each box contains the digits 1-9 once each. Digits may not repeat within rows or columns. Cells not in boxes are left blank.
Ten Lines: Lines of all colors in the grid are ten lines. The digits on these lines must be broken entirely into contiguous non-overlapping groups of cells that sum to 10. Gaps within these sums are acceptable, as long as the gaps contain no digits. For example, a line may read 2 8 Gap Gap 4 Gap Gap Gap 4 2.
Each line contains at least one tensum.
Have fun, leave a comment if you enjoy the puzzle!
This puzzle is available in two forms. Choose the one that you prefer:
One that even more emphasizes visual clarity [In this version all intersections are transverse, so the colors are not needed, and ends of lines extend further boxes which may be helpful for those on small screens.]
PS: I stream solving sudoku like puzzles three days a week. You can check out the channel, as well as some videos I have made about setting puzzles, at my YouTube channel here.

Thanks for the clarity on the rules. It's a great puzzle. I managed to solve it after spending a lot of hours yesterday and today. I had to set the puzzle aside and come back to it and reset several times to let me grasp the intuition better but in the end it worked out.
I hope CtC or some other puzzle youtuber takes it on soon, so I can see if my path through the grid was the intended route or there is something I could have done more cleverly. Regardless I am proud to put it on my mantle of solved puzzles :)

Hi I'd like to ask for clarity about the rules. Can a ten sum be made with digits from two different boxes? So if two boxes are orthogonally connected and they share a line, can you have a 9 on the line in one box and a 1 in the adjacent point in the line in the other box that sum to 10?
[Yes definitely! -z]

Very fun solve with some cool deductions along the way! The stream was great fun too and I'm glad I got to experience the entire thing properly without spoiling myself too much xD

Yozzy was crazy, and at times made me dizzy. But the feelings it gave me were warm and fuzzy. OK, enough of the -zy words.

Yo Z ! Enjoyed testing this. Great fun and surprisingly smooth. I encourage anyone interested in puzzle crafting to watch the setting video after solving this. Thanks :)
