Here's where you can play Maxwell Sudoku by Brian Scott: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/NmhBfbT4J7
Normal sudoku rules apply. A grey ‘max’ cell must be surrounded by lower digits. A red ‘well’ cell must be surrounded by higher digits. Each max cell has a corresponding well cell of the same value. Digits on a thermometer increase in value from the bulb. A clue outside the grid gives the sum of the indicated diagonal.
