PUZZLE:
RULES:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
• German Whisper (green): Digits along each German Whisper line must differ by at least five [5].
• Kropki: White dots separate two consecutive digits; Black dots separate two digits where one is double the other [ratio of 1:2] (not all dots are given).
• Odd/Even: Digits within Circle cells are Odd; digits within Square cells are Even.
• Renban (pink): Digits along each Renban line form a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits in any order.
• Thermometer: Digits along a thermometer must increase from the bulb to the tip.
INTRODUCTION:
This is an updated version of a recent release; upon reflection I wasn't pleased with the aesthetics of the previous puzzle. The conceit was to have a list of words that would unravel everything, however with the break-in I discovered some fun logic and ultimately the two ideas didn't mesh towards the end of the solve.
This version still stays within the theme but is a more interesting and (to my eyes) a much cleaner puzzle.
I hope you enjoy.

Not sure what's going on - I've solved the puzzle according to CTC (Solution is correct), but for some reason what I'm putting in to the solution code isn't taking. I even had my wife read it to me and LMG is still saying The solution code I entered is wrong. Still, I'm certain I've solved it (Sudokupad told me so) so I will say, thanks for the fun solve!

@Tingo - I did a facelift to the puzzle, perhaps things got shuffled around with the links? The important thing is it works in the app! I'm glad you liked it (means a lot coming from you, big fan of your puzzles) <3 -- VKP
