Normal Sudoku rules apply.
LATIN SQUARE - In the (diagonally oriented) 5x5 green grid, place the digits 1-5 in every row and column. Only digits in the centers of green squares count as being part of this grid.
GERMAN WHISPERS - Adjacent digits along each of the six thick green lines differ by at least 5.
Solution code: Row 9

Great puzzle. May I plead with the moderator to include Latin Square in the list of tags? Same may be done for other rulesets like index and squish.

I’m new to sudoku, and I’m finding that this is my favorite kind of puzzle! Lots of coloring!

Lovely puzzle, but I found the wording of which cells were in the latin square a bit confusing. Once I examined the grid, it was clear what you intended, but think it would be clearer if it was something like “the cells surrounding by green squares.”

I was listening to the Wicked soundtrack and when I saw this, I just had to give it a try and I am very glad I did!
I solved it without the line in the lower left corner (because I'm a masochist, I guess) and it required a bifurcation chain that I would consider inelegant but not too unreasonable.

Loved it but quite tricky on the notational front for me. And quite challenging on my need for sleep. It was a lot of fun! And very pretty grid to boot.
