Hi everyone, today I bring you my new puzzle. It's my first Chaos Construction puzzle. The title is the name of a beautiful song by Wilco. I hope you like it

Rules:

1. Chaos construction: Divide the grid into nine regions of orthogonally connected cells such that each row, column and region contains each digit from 1 to 9 exactly once.

2. German Whispers: Along a green line, adjacent digits differ by at least 5.

3. Regional Kropki Dots:Each region has a "whisper value" equal to the sum of the digits within the region that are on a German Whisper Line.

  • No region has a whisper value of 0.
  • No two regions have the same whisper value.

A dot always lies on the boundary between two different regions and indicates the following about their whisper values:
  • A white dot indicates that the whisper values are consecutive.
  • A black dot indicates that the whisper values are in a 1:2 ratio.
  • Not all possible dots are necessarily given.
Example puzzle (6x6). For the example puzzle the rules are the same, but with 6x6 German Whisper Lines (adjacent digits differ by at least 3)

Have fun solving!

Solution code: Row 5, with dashes for region borders. (Example: 123-45-6-7-89)

Very nice ruleset and very well set puzzle! Also, thank you for the example puzzle. I would have likely not tried the "big one" without it :)
