Normal sudoku rules apply.
A digit cannot appear more than its own number of times across all lines in the grid. For example, there cannot be more than six 6s placed on lines.
Adjacent digits on a green line differ by at least 5.
Digits along a purple line form a non-repeating set of consecutive digits in any order.
Solution code: Row 2

I'm with mihel111 and against Snookerfan on this. I definitely prefer approachable to vicious! Lovely puzzle, thanks.

New achievement unlocked: First IcyFruit completed. This is not brutally hard to solve, but I can't imagine how hard it was to set..

This is absolutely brilliant. I enjoyed the whole logical process from the beginning to the end. Thank you.
Also, not trying to answer the question from Myfyr MJ, but I did solved the puzzle without assuming that the grey line being a ten line.

Really enjoyable solve, tight logic and a great flourish at end. Great use of geometry to force a unique solution, this must have been fun to set :) thanks!

Is the grey line a ten line or is it just used for the number of times on a line criterion? Thanks.

Beautiful as all IcyFruit puzzles are, but not as viciously hard as most of them, actually quite approachable. I prefer vicious, but I enjoyed this one also very much. Thank you

My first ever IcyFruit puzzle and what a puzzle it is; it has an incredible break in, my favorite I've ever done.
