PUZZLE


RULES

Deconstruction Sudoku: There exist nine non-overlapping 3x3 square regions which must be located. Each region contains the digits 1-9 once each, such that no digit repeats in any row or column. Cells outside these regions do not contain digits, but have a value of 0.

German Whisper Line: Values along a green line differ by at least 5.

Palindrome Line: Cells an equal distance from the center of a silver line have equal values.

NOTES
Expected Difficulty: 3.5 stars

This was set for Scojo's Setting Saturday Prompt, this week chosen by the wheel: Deconstruction, Palindrome, and German Whispers.

Many thanks to Memeristor, Malakree, Flinty and knalle83 for testing!

A great intro puzzle to deconstruction puzzles. I love how the region building interacts with the constraints in such a natural way.
