Nice puzzle, but I suggest elaborating the "sequence line" rule so it makes more sense. Only stating "adjacent digits differ by the same value" could mean that digits can repeat on the sequence line (which doesn't work that way at all) - it could be accurate just by adding "differ by the same value in the SAME DIRECTION"

I'm going to suggest that giving a puzzle an incorrect difficulty rating is liable to produce an unfairly low quality rating.
This is a good, solid disjoint set puzzle. That alone makes it level 2. Throw in SLOW thermos, and difference lines ... how could this possibly be level 1 ?

if the stars are red that means it was set by the users not the creator
