The Maximum Maxim (Minmax, Renban)
(Published on 1. August 2022, 20:06 by Chilly)
This combination of constraints was one I hadn't worked with before, but I liked how it came out and it seemed popular with the testers, so I decided to post it up here. Hope you enjoy.
The Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- The arrow signs between cells point to the lower of the two digits they lie between.
- Digits on a purple renban line must be a consecutive set, but may appear in any order.

Took me way too long to notice that the minmax in R6C9 doesn't follow the pattern of the other boxes and is a max cell instead of a min. Kept scratching my head trying to figure out why it wouldn't solve.
Great puzzle though! Tons of fun once I managed to actually properly interpret the clues.
Thanks! Glad you liked :)
