Let's Go Sailing
(Published on 16. April 2024, 16:55 by Biscuit)
I'm excited for the start of my sailing season and made this puzzle to celebrate. Short of the number on the sails (since 164 is not a valid killer cage sum) I think it's a very accurate image of my boat ;)
RULES:
Normal Sudoku: Fill the grid with digits 1 to 9 appearing once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
Thermometers: Digits on a grey thermometer must increase from bulb to tip.
Killer Cages: Digits in a cage must sum to the value in the upper left hand corner of the cage. Digits may not repeat within a cage.
Renban Lines: Digits on the pink line must form a consecutive set of digits in any order.
German Whisper Lines: Adjacent digits on the green line must have a difference of at least 5.
Kropki Dots: Cells connected by a white dot are consecutive. Cells connected by a black dot are in the ratio 1:2. Not all dots are given.

It was a turbulent mess of coloring for me for a while before I got to a bend and the current flowed nicely from there. Once you're on the right tack, it's a breeze!
