Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Draw a single, non-intersecting line between the two circles that travels orthogonally through the centers of some cells. In every cell it enters, the line must make a 90 degree turn. The line acts as an entropic line : each 3 successive cells along the line must contain a low digit (123), a medium digit (456) and a high digit (789).
- Additionally, the line must enter at least one of the cells touched by each clue : Digits joined by an X sum to 10 ; Digits joined by a V sum to 5 ; Digits joined by a white dot are consecutive.

I had a really hard time breaking into this puzzle, but the way the 90 degree restraint limited movements was very satisfying to get a feel for.

Not easy - I give four stars - but very well constructed. I enjoyed following the meandering path of the entropic line. Thank you very much for creating and sharing this gem.

That was a struggle, and very satisfying to finally solve! Thanks.
