Amazéd

The number of impressively creative rulesets using exactly one word beginning with each letter of the alphabet seriously amazéd me, and somewhat put my own puzzle shame, but it was a very fun one to set so I hope that sharing it brings some joy! My first draft looked like this, which has Monkeys and Kites, but I wanted to shoehorn maximum silliness into the final rule...!
Many thanks to several testers who confirmed my difficulty estimate and helped to improve rule wording (as much as is possible with the constraint!)
Quattroquadri: Place 1-9 without multiplicity in rows / columns / boxes.
Numbers equidistant from V / X on Zebra lines total 5 / 10.
Helicopters: smaller digits as you go up... just kidding!
Lösungscode: Row 6 (bottom), left to right

You clever clogs. Why must you always make your puzzles so devilishly charming?

The rule set should be given an award, It's so cleverly done! Without knowing the constraint, I wouldn't know the rules were "constructed"
As for the puzzle, it's also a delight. Quattroquadri puzzles always break my brain from the lack of constraints, but for this, everything surprisingly pops into place in a satisfying way. Definitely a lovely treat!

Fun to play! Beautifully worded too. Also, loving the reviews so far. I'm not so talented, but I'm glad to read these sillinesses!

A beautiful construction. Doesn't everyone find great happiness in "just kidding" logic? Maybe not one person quite readily solved this until V's with X's yielded zen.

My quest for solving this x-traordinary puzzle yielded immense enjoyment. Unfamiliar zebra lines brought additional knowledge. Very nicely constructed despite obviously hilarious rule weirdnesses, good job!
