Introducing Broken Arrow Pairs #2, where the arrows are shorter so the order is taller! Now with that new, counting circles smell! Take a peek at our first model if your style is more amounting and less counting. Try now before the next model arrives!
Solve this puzzle in SudokuPad.
Sudoku: Standard rules apply (place the digits 1 to 9 in every row, column, and 3x3 box).
Counting Circles: A digit in a circle indicates exactly how many circles contain that digit.
Broken Arrow Pairs: Each pair of collinear gray dots/lines is also collinear with two circles. Digits along one dot/line sum to the digit in one circle, and digits along the other dot/line sum to the digit in the other circle. (To clarify, gray dots are gray lines of length one.)
White Kropki Dots: Digits on either side of a white dot are consecutive (differ by one).

Nice snack and interesting ruleset. Bit of thinking needed for the break-in, but was very quick after that.

Thanks sanabas! Agreed that the break-in is the tricky part, hope it was the right amount of challenging! I've made it through a couple of your toughies too, fun swap!
