Whispern't Loop
(Published on 6. July 2024, 02:04 by yttrio)
A slightly different take on the rules for my previous loop puzzles with arrow clues. Estimated difficulty is between 3 and 4 stars.
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Draw a one-cell-wide loop of orthogonally connected cells. The loop may not touch itself, not even diagonally.
The loop acts as a German Whispers line (i.e., adjacent digits on the loop must have a difference of at least 5).
Digits in cells with arrows count how many NON-loop cells are in the indicated directions combined (not including the cell itself).
Solution code: Digits on the loop in row 2 (left to right) followed by digits on the loop in row 8 (left to right)

It took me a moment to turn off my arrow instincts, once I did it was wonderful roller coaster ride.
