New York flatmates: All 5s must have at least three of the following neighbors; 1 directly above 5; 9 directly below 5; 4 directly left of 5; 6 directly right of 5.
Renban: digits along the pink line form a set of consecutive numbers without repeats, in any order.
Inequality arrows: an arrow between cells points to the smaller digit.
Thank you to flinty for inspiration, and flinty (again), LMDemasi, SennyK, arctan, and OddlyEven for testing and feedback!
