S is for Sudoku
(Published on 4. December 2025, 16:03 by WEBthe3rd)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Thermometers - Digits along a thermometer strictly increase from bulb to tip.
Arrows - Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the attached circle.
Note: In this puzzle, thermometers and arrows share circles!Renban Lines - Digits along a pink line form a contiguous, non-repeating set in any order.
Killer Cages - Digits in a cage are non-repeating and sum to the number in the top left corner.
Kropki Dots - Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive, and digits separated by a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio.
XV - Digits separated by an X sum to 10.
Solution code: Bottom row, from left to right

Lots of fun! My favorite part was the logic of how all of the pieces of the S worked together, especially the shared circles of the thermos & arrows.

Added clarification about thermos and arrows sharing circles

Nice one, maybe the rules should clarify that the arrow circles double as thermo bulbs. While somewhat obvious, it could be a little confusing.
