Play the first "Offset" Puzzle
This puzzle can be solved on SudokuPad
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Digits do not repeat on the offset diagonal line.
Entropic Line: The beige entropic line must contain a low digit (1,2,3), middle digit (4,5,6) and high digit (7,8,9).
Thermometers: Numbers on a thermometer strictly increase as they move away from the bulb
Killer Cages: Digits in cages must sum to the number in the top-left corner and cannot repeat
Modular Line: Three consecutive digits on the teal modular line must contain a complete set of residuals modulo 3. (i.e: one from (i.e: one from (3,6,9), (1,4,7) and (2,5,8)).
For the next variants, across any vertical line, the two digits on either side added together equal the value of the line on that row. (The arrow is counted as a line)
Ex:
This is what an offset line will look like on the grid - This the same line values-wise
1|2 - 3
3|4 - 7
8|9 - 17
ONLY the values matter, no logic pertains to the digits.
Offset Arrow: Values along the arrow sum to the value on the circle row.
Offset German Whispers Line: All values on the green German whisper line must have a difference of at least 5. (i.e, the value on either end must be at least 5 different from each other as well as the middle).
Offset Renban Line: Values on the pink renban line are consecutive but can be in any order.
Offset Parity Line: The pairs of values along the red parity line must contain an even and odd value.
Offset Dutch Whispers Line: All values on the orange Dutch whisper line must have a difference of at least 4. (i.e ditto of German Whispers).
Fun Rules: Have Fun ☺☻☺☻
Solution code: Row 2 left to right

Neat. Took me forever to realize that the whispers rule was very different from usual.

Cool puzzle! I would maybe change the wording of the red parity line slightly. I took it to mean that each pair had one even and one odd, not that the sum of the pairs alternated between even and odd. I recognized that this was unlike the other lines, but based on your wording I thought the red parity line must just be different.

The puzzle have a very nice logic in the beginning but it doe not have a unique solution you can solve it on more than 6 ways i think you need to add more restrictions to get to the unique solution you are looking for

Very nice puzzle! Maybe a little example for the offset rules would have been nice (in particular, it is easy to miss that the whisper line rules hold for ANY pair of values along the line).

Glad to see the reworked puzzle up! Breezed through it probably a little quicker than I would have just from seeing the earlier version of it, but still nice to see it unfold!
