Normal Sudoku rules apply, place the digits 1-9 in each row, column, and box.
German whispers: Adjacent digits on a green line must have a difference of at least 5. All German whisper lines have been given that would be vertical or horizontal. (i.e. There is a negative constraint, but this does not apply to diagonally adjacent digits.)
X Pairs: Digits separated by an X sum to 10.
This is a sequel to Heard No More,
and Heard No More 5.

Very fun puzzle! Also quite interesting regarding your comment on the diffculty. As for me, it is pretty consistent approx. 10 min per star, so 1* = 10 min, 2* = 20 min, 3* = 30 and so on. So based on my time I would rate this a 1.5*.

Nice! Took me a bit to get the hang of the negative constraint, but pretty smooth when I did.

Thanks Bard! I've done all 6 in the series now and would love to see more!
This one definitely felt like one of the easiest of the series to me personally.
Thanks again!

Nice one, Bard! I found it harder than 1* tbh. Maybe I missed something obvious. Either way, thanks again. Hope you're well.

I expected it to be a 2 star myself. I sometimes wonder how people rate these puzzles. I have established a set of rules for myself to determine the difficulty. Approximately, 12 minutes or less 1 star, to 22 minutes 2 star, and so on. This allows for a bit more objective determination, and while this isn’t the absolute rule it provides a baseline.
