To solve this puzzle, you must translate English to German—by first placing English words into the caged region, and then by solving a German Whispers Sudoku. Hope you enjoy!

Rules:

Normal Sudoku: The digits 1 to 9 must appear in every row, column, and 3x3 box.

German Whispers: Adjacent digits along green lines must have a difference of 5 or greater.

Wordsearch Cage:

• Place the English words for the digits 1 to 9 (ONE, TWO, THREE, etc.) into the cage so that each cell contains exactly one letter and all cells are filled.
• For each digit, its corresponding English word must appear twice—once horizontally (read left to right) and once vertically (read top to bottom).
• Words for the same digit must share a letter (see example).
• In the shared cell, write the corresponding digit (see example).
• Note: any number of words may share letters and overlap with other words. However, words for the same digit must intersect.

For reference, here are the English words for the digits 1 to 9:

• 1 - ONE
• 2 - TWO
• 3 - THREE
• 4 - FOUR
• 5 - FIVE
• 6 - SIX
• 7 - SEVEN
• 8 - EIGHT
• 9 - NINE

And here is the puzzle. You can solve online:

• Penpa+
• F-Puzzles (change mode to "Setting" and use "Cosmetic Tools" to enter letters)
