The Color is Saffron
(Published on 18. December 2025, 18:40 by Bharat Kumar gour )
Normal sudoku rules apply. Adjacent digits on a saffron line must have a difference of at least 3. Additionally, digits two cell apart on a saffron line must have a difference of at least 5. For e.g. a 4 cell long saffron line filled “ABCD”, A and B, B and C, C and D will have a difference of at least 3 and the A and C, B and D will have a difference of at least 5. Grey lines are ten sum lines. Digits on each grey line sum to ten. The digit in grey circle is odd.
Solution code: row 4 followed by row 7 without any space

Follow-up now that I think I understand the rules: the instructions should also be edited to read "Adjacent digits on a saffron line must have a difference of AT LEAST 3"

Thank you @tjmas for pointing that out. Also I have clarified the rule with a bit better example.

Should the instructions read "Additionally, digits two cell apart on a saffron line must have a difference of AT LEAST 5"?
