Asexual and Non-Binary Pride
(Published on 1. June 2025, 09:12 by PhoenixAki)
This puzzle was created as my contribution to 2025's Puzzler Pride, a showcase for puzzles made by LGBTQ+ puzzle setters. As an asexual and non-binary person I felt compelled to participate and represent the flags of my identities in this puzzle. Enjoy! The full packet can be found at this link (this puzzle is found on page 7 of the PDF).
Solution videos to my puzzles are posted on my YouTube channel. Try to solve without referring to it first :) I include this here as an option to increase accessibility to my puzzles. Happy solving!

Everyone is welcome to solve this on a stream or video, but I would prefer you let me know when such a thing happens so I can check it out (DM me on Discord, same username phoenixaki) :)

Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply: place 1-9 in each row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Killer Sudoku: Cells surrounded in dotted-line cages must sum to the total given in the leftmost cell of the top row of the cage.
- German Whispers: Adjacent digits on a green line must differ by at least 5.
- Cloned Lines: The purple, white, and black lines are clones of each other (i.e. their digits will appear in the same order). For clarity, the black lines are in rows 1 and 8, the white lines are in rows 3 and 6, and the purple lines are in rows 4 and 7. All other lines are purely cosmetic and do not follow this rule.

Solution code: Row 5 from left to right (9 digits)
