The Hobbit Puzzle Pack
XIX : Home At Last
As all things come to an end, even this story, a day came at last when they were in sight of the country where Bilbo had been born and bred, where the shapes of the land and of the trees were as well known to him as his hands and toes. Coming to a rise he could see his own Hill in the distance... And so they crossed the bridge and passed the mill by the river and came right back to Bilbo's own door.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Begin by transcribing the "Great River" labelled digits from the previous puzzle into the cage in box 3.
Along the green line, adjacent digits differ by at least 5.
The value of a cage is the sum of its digits; not all values are given.
Have fun, leave a comment if you enjoy the puzzle!
Solution code: Column 1 followed by a hyphen (-) followed by a four-letter word (all uppercase) derived from the cages in row 9.

Very nice series! I loved that the last puzzle was a little bit easier so I could finish the journey without looking for help. However I have no idea how to get the solution code

Think about the wording of the fourth sentence of the rules.

Fantastic set of puzzles, thank you so much. The only part I didn't like was trying to work out the solution code at the end lol
Can't wait to get started on the LOTR pack
