Rules:
TESSELLATION:
- Fill each cell with a digit from 1-9.
- Cells sharing an edge can't have the same digit.
- Each horizontal row and vertical column contains a non-repeating consecutive set of digits (like 23456) in any order.
Index Lines:
- The value in the Nth cell along a line (starting from the diamond) indicates the position along the line where the value N appears.
- For example, if a diamond cell has a value 3, the third cell along that line must have a value 1.
All feedback (positive or critical) appreciated!
Solution code: Row 5 left to right (9 digits)

Fascinating how you managed to draw another 9 using the index lines! Thank you very much for creating and sharing this lovely puzzle.

It's always surprising how few clues people can make a Tesselation grid with.
I'm a little surprised that I figured out a trick about the 8-length line several minutes before realizing I could use the exact same trick on the 6-length line. Usually I figure out stuff for the shorter clues first.
