Rules:

Normal 6x6 Sudoku: Place the digits 1-6 exactly once in every row, column, and 2x3 box.

German Whispers Lines: Green lines in the grid are German Whispers lines. Adjacent digits along the line must have a difference of at least 3.

Kropki Dots: Digits separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio, meaning one is exactly double the other. Not all dots are necessarily given.

Very nice, but I do not see the NEU in this puzzle.

Lovely. Exactly the Type of "oh this is super forced- wait how the heck does this disambiguate - oh I see, clever" type of puzzle I like.

Very nice 6x6, took me a little while to spot the disambiguation (not helped by a colouring mistake)

@horseradish1 The name for "the 3+ variant" is German Whispers. For an n by n grid, the difference for German Whispers is defined as n/2 rounded up. So for a 9x9 the difference is 5 (9/2=4.5=5), but for a 6x6 it's 3 (6/2=3).

I ended up really liking the solve on this. Very satisfying. But I would hesitate to call it German Whispers, since every digit is actually pidove to be on the line. It's more like Dutch Whispers, although i'd be willing to bet there's already a name for the 3+ variant anyway. Good setting!
