Patchwork
(Published on 20. March 2025, 07:49 by Boffey)
This is my first published puzzle. Comments (whether positive or negative, but hopefully constructive) are much appreciated.
Extended Sudoku: Every horizontal or vertical line of nine orthogonally connected cells (whether inside the grid or not), along with each 3×3 box, contains the digits 1-9, once each.
Thermos: The grey thermo strictly increases from the bulb end.
Stitches: A blue stitch connects two orthogonally adjacent cells with the same entropy (i.e. they are both in the same set of {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}) and a red stsich connects two orthogonally adjacent cells with the same modularity (i.e. the remainder when divided by 3 is the same). All possible stitches are shown.
Solution code: The digits in the Phistomefel ring, reading anticlockwise starting from the digit in box 1 (sixteen digits).

Haven't done an Extended Sudoku before so that was new. Thanks.

To save in Penpa+, click "share" at the top. To get the result into Sven's software, you can use this converter: https://marktekfan.github.io/sudokupad-penpa-import/

Sorry, I haven't generated a grid–I would prefer to do it on Sven’s software, but I can’t see how to do that. I have tried penpa+, but was unable to save my results??? Any suggestions and I would be more than willing to create a link.
P.S., no Yoica, you are not blind.

Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see a link in order to do the sukodu.
