Rules:
Ratings, comments, and feedback are much appreciated! Please feel free to reach out to me on Discord if you have any comments or questions. Please also feel free to try my other puzzles here
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Thermo: Digits along thermometers must increase from the bulb end.
- Modified little killer: Numbers outside the grid indicate the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal while omitting the Nth digit, where N is the digit in the first cell along the indicated diagonal. For example, a sequence of 3-5-8-7-2 sums to 3 + 5 + 7 + 2 = 17). Each N cannot be larger than the length of its diagonal.
- The tan line is aesthetic only.

I must say, the aesthetic tan line was intrusive until I colored the diagonal orange. But I still enjoyed the puzzle.
