German Whisper Loop
This is my third in the loop drawing series. Check out the other puzzles in the series.
Part 1: Rellik Loop
Part 2: Renban Loop
Part 3: German Whisper Loop
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Kropki: Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive.
- German Whisper: Adjacent digits on a German Whisper line must differ by at least 5.
- Loop: Draw a single once-cell wide loop that moves orthogonally between cells and does not branch or touch itself (not even diagonally)
- Loop Segments: Box borders divide the loop into segments where each loop segment functions as a discreet German Whisper line (i.e. the German Whisper rule does not apply across box borders). If the loop enters a box more than once each loop segment is considered independently.
- Diamonds: Cells with a green diamond are on the loop and give the length of their line segment.
I hope you enjoy the puzzle!
Solution code: Row 1

Loved this puzzle! Some fresh and fun tweaks to the way we usually think about German Whisper logic. Beautiful design and a very fun solve. Thanks for setting and sharing!

I needed to retry 3 Times cause r7c4 blew my mind. It was so obvious, that i didnt even saw it the first 2 times

Wow, what a fantastic puzzle! Thank you so much for setting and sharing it, blackjackfitz! I already very much enjoyed your Rellik loop puzzle and this one also was great fun again. It took me a while to figure out what was going on in Box 6, but the flow of the puzzle when everything resolved was out of this world. Excellent setting!
