The following puzzle from mine uses an unfamiliar line constraint that I actually used once in the past (see this one), and it's meant to be made as an approachable puzzle for everyone.
Difficulty is probably around lower side of 3/5 but I'll still share it as a 3/5, let me know if the difficulty may be even lower. I hope you enjoy the solve path overall!
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply: every row, column and 3x3 box contains digits from 1 to 9 each once.
- Two cells connected by a V sum to 5. Two cells connected by an X sum to 10. Not all Xes and Vs are given.
- Along an orange line, two adjacent cells contain digits that have difference of at most 2. Digits along an orange line can repeat if allowed by other rules.
Puzzle:
Good luck and have fun solving!
Lösungscode: Row 9 (left to right), 9 digits long

Thanks everyone for the feedback, I'm glad to hear the enjoyment from y'all! I'm not so sure if I want to exploit some advanced ideas or limits for the line next, but it's maybe for another occasion in the future x)

Some fantastic ‘outside the box’ thinking required, but still accessible. Great puzzle, thanks!
