Name Series: Kyle
(Published on 17. January 2023, 18:08 by Tingo)
I've decided to do a few puzzles that sport the names of my friends and family. This one is an homage to my buddy, Kyle. If your name is Kyle, or not, I hope you enjoy this puzzle too.
Normal Sudoku Rules Apply
Green lines are German Whispers lines. Adjacent digits must differ by at least 5.
The blue line is a region sums line. Digits along a line must sum to the same total in each region the line enters. If a line enters a region multiple times, each instance is calculated separately.
Cells joined by Xs sum to 10. Not all Xs are given.
Digits on a thermometer must strictly increase from the bulb end.
The puzzle can be played at F-Puzzles here!

Questions, comments, concerns and jokes are all welcome! Thanks for playing!
Solution code: Row 9 followed by Column 4, no spaces

Enjoyed it, thanks! Misread the K, so I had to retrace a couple of times, haha.

What is the "K" shape region sum line? Is two independent region sum lines intersecting at R3C1 or is the whole a region sum line?
- It is a single region sum line. Box 1 has one distinct region. Box 4, has two, distinct regions. The "K" however is one solid block of line. Each distinct region in Box 4 must sum to the same as the whole region in Box 1. - Tingo
