Seven Lines
(Published on 13. January 2026, 21:06 by StephenR)
This is my first puzzle - I don't think I've made any howlers but please leave a comment if you spot anything. I've marked it as two stars, but wouldn't be surprised if some rate it at one star.
However many stars, I hope you enjoy it.
Rules
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in the larger white circles must appear at least once in the four surrounding cells.
- Digits on a pink line form a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits in any order.
- Digits on the blue line have the same sum in each box the line passes through.
- A black dot separates digits where one is double the other.
- A smaller white dot separates consecutive digits.
- Digits in the cage sum to the number in the top-left corner.
Solution code: Row 7

I was surprised to see that it was your first puzzle, it was very nice, but I confirm the 1* for difficulty (which is not a bad thing at all)
Well done and I hope you will post others ! :)

A good first puzzle. Flowed very nicely and very approachable. The speed merchants will do this in less than 5 minutes, but I took my time and enjoyed it.
