Today's Puzzles:

Today's video is exceptional in that it includes three separate puzzles thanks to a recent 6 x 6 challenge. I thought it required me to group several puzzles to still present a challenge that you can enjoy for the day.

1. To tactics by Chameleon 2. Do(o)ts and Sum Blue by Sandra & Nala 3. Pocket Aquatic Marmalade by heliopolix

Rules:

Toe tactics by Chameleon Normal latin square rules apply: place digits 1-6 into each row and column without repeats. Normal arrow rules: digits on the arrow line sum to the digit in the circle. Digits on the arrow may repeat if allowed by other rules. No diagonal stripe of 3 repeated digits is allowed.

Do(o)ts and Sum Blue by Sandra & Nala Normal 6×6 Sudoku rules apply.

Blue lines are region sum lines. For each line, digits on the line have an equal sum N within each box it passes through. There are 4 lines that cross another line in this puzzle. These are to be treated as independent lines. (So there are 8 lines in total here)

Cells separated by a black Kropki dot are in a 1:2 ratio. Sets of digits separated by a black Kroopki Doot (a long, ellipse-looking shape) must have their respective sums be in a 1:2 ratio.

Cells separated by a white Kropki dot are consecutive. Sets of digits separated by a white Kroopki Doot must have their respective sums be consecutive.

Not all Kropki or Kroopki Do(o)ts are necessarily given. There is no negative constraint.

Pocket Aquatic Marmalade by heliopolix Normal 6x6 Sudoku rules apply. Cells separated by an orange dot differ by the same value. The solver must determine the value. Not all dots are given. Normal Thermo rules apply. (Digits on a gray thermometer must strictly increase from the bulb to the top.) Normal 6x6 German Whisper rules apply. (Adjacent digits along a green line differ by 3 or more.)
