Between Whispers
(Published on 4. January 2026, 23:22 by cornflakes23)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Between Lines: Digits on a line between two circles must be strictly between the digits in the circles.
- German Whisper: Adjacent digits along a green line must differ by at least 5.
- Thermometers: Digits along thick grey lines increase from the bulb end.
- XV: Cells connected by an X must sum to 10 and cells connected by a V must sum to 5. Not all X's and V's are given.
Note, for the avoidance of doubt:
- All Between Lines and German Whisper lines are overlapping.
- R1C1 and R9C9 cells are simultaneously the end of a Between Line and German Whisper, and the bulb of a Thermometer.
This is my first puzzle. Feedback welcomed.
Solution code: Row 9, left to right (9 digits)
