Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in a circle appear at least once each in the four surrounding cells. Adjacent digits on a green line differ by at least 5. Any set of three sequential cells on an orange line contains a low digit (1-3), a middle digit (4-6), and a high digit (7-9). Digits on a purple line form a set of non-repeating consecutive numbers (in any order).
Puzzle:
Solution code: Enter Rows 6 and 9 (18 digits, no spaces)

Fantastic! Glad I found this older one. Really enjoyable solve. I especially like how the quad with the lone 4 helped to solve the double :) Thanks for sharing.

I really enjoyed this solve.
The next step was always findable but usually involved changing mental gears; doesn't roll over and give up until it's done.

Lovely puzzle with a smooth solving path - up to the last quad…

I often feel like I miss setter's solve path, but this puzzle flowed really nicely. So it either fitted me well, or it's idiot-proof! Lovely as always, Math Pesto <3

Thanks so much!!!! I was real stubborn with this. I could have gotten a decent version of this puzzle out sooner, but didn't want to sacrifice the aesthetics lol -Math Pesto

Very nice - found it harder than a 3* but that's probably just me.
