** Today's Sudoku **

Today's sudoku is MAJESTIC. This is a tour de force by Lizzy01 with some dazzling logic - do give yourself a bit of joy by having a crack at it, you won't regret it! You can play the puzzle at the following link:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Along thermometers, digits must increase from the bulb end. Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in that arrow's circle. The clue outside the grid gives the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. These digits may repeat if allowed by other rules. The main diagonal marked in blue cannot contain a repeated digit. Digits on the diamond endpoints of a purple line must have a difference of at least 4 and the remaining digits on the line cannot be between or equal to the digits on the endpoints.

** Our Book **
The PDF is available as of today and the physical copy shouldn't be far behind. If you don't own the book then it can still be ordered here:
