The Suducku King (Thermometer + Renban sudoku)
(Published on 1. May 2021, 20:51 by Aspartagcus)
Edit: This puzzle got featured on Cracking the Cryptic. :)
RULES:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits on the light gray thermometers have to increase as they move away from the bulb.
- Digits on dark gray renban lines have to be a set of non-repeating consecutive digits, in any order.
Setting this puzzle was quite interesting, I did not originally mean for it to turn into a picture, but the more I set, the more I saw the potential for it, and I just had to go for it. The crown on top was not intentional, it was a happy accident.
Enjoy!

Super fun puzzle!! I struggled with it but I think that's due to me not being familiar with the renban variant. Very good overall and the logic was very satisfying.

Thanks a lot! :)

Loved it! Crazy how symmetrical it was, yet the one difference made it all solvable and unique! I agree - Ran Ban has great untapped potential!

Thanks! I was pleasantly surprised that it ended up almost symmetrical all the way. :) An earlier version had a wonky beak and some unruly feathers on top, but the solve path wasn't as nice.
