The Tea-Bag Technique

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
An almost unbelievably clever sudoku today from Blashyrkh's Sharing Economy, a thermo sudoku with one diagonal line.  The ruleset is simple but this is a very original puzzle and yet another favourite in an incredible couple of weeks for sudoku.

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along thermometers increase from the bulb end. Digits do not repeat along the indicated diagonal.

** NEW SUDOKU HUNT JUST OUT **
A new sudoku hunt, The Planets Suite, was released on 1 June at 4pm UK time on Patreon.  It's one of our own and is slightly easier this month.  The solution videos for DiMono's Jewels Of Osiris hunt last month are also now available.

Join us on Patreon for as little as $2 a month to play.
