Rhyme or Reason? / Reim oder Vernunft?
(Published on 14. March 2022, 20:28 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in the large circle at its end. Digits in a quadruple circle must appear in the surrounding cells. I think this puzzle is 2 stars out of 5 for difficulty for many solvers. As always, comments welcome!

This one took me a long time to get over the hump, but it really enjoyed it. Rated it 2*
Great puzzle, thank you PDN

Big fan of PDN's puzzles. Always enjoyable. Thank you. (I agree with some of the other posters...it was more challenging than a normal 1-star puzzle.)

This should be the most difficult 1 star question. It took a long time to find the breakthrough point. I think it is at least 2 stars.
** I agree, as you will see in my instructions. But the community voted it one star. :-)

Great puzzle! I'm a pretty new solver so it took me a while to solve it. But the puzzle kept giving me tiny bits of progress so I was never truly stuck. I also think I have a better understanding of arrow puzzles now. Thanks!
** Great job. Thanks for the solve!

ok, I made this way harder on myself by misinterpreting my own markings. I really enjoyed the break in and that it stayed relatively uniformly difficult (but not too difficult) throughout
** Nice job sticking with it!

I liked the concept of it!
I have some experience but there a few not-immediately-obvious things so I gave it 2 stars as well
** Thanks so much for the feedback and solve! :-)

One of the best easy puzzles I've seen, has it all - good aesthetic theme, nice solve path, fun interactions.
** Wow - what high praise! Thank you!
