Still not clear about the rules, I have filled up so far assuming that no neighboring numbers can be consecutive.
What am I missing in this.
I had already mentioned that that "Non-consecutive Sudoku" shows the rules of "consecutive Sudoku". You said these are same rules, but consecutive once have a white block at the edge where number are to be consecutive and where there is no such block, the numbers have to be non-consecutive.
But here there are no block, meaning all numbers neighboring numbers have to be non-consecutive, but I am stuck here finding no clue.
Again saying that adding a few lines in the help screen of "consecutive Sudoku", highlighting any differences or peculiarities of "Non-consecutive Sudoku" will help users.
Thanks. -- Rawat

Hi, No - that’s the complete rules, as you’ve stated them. They can be tough puzzles though!
A clue to something to look for: If the only possibilities for a square are two consecutive numbers, what happens if an adjacent square is one of those two numbers?

vsrawat, look at the column with 569; 5 and 6 cannot be adjacent so 9 must be between them. No numbers may be consecutive is the only rule you need apart from the basic sudoku ones!!! Other useful ideas, Rawat, if a square only contains 2 consecutive numbers, these numbers cannot be in adjacent squares e.g. if a square only contains 7 and 8, then 7 and 8 cannot be in adjacent squares. Similarly if the numbers differ by two e.g. 3 and 5, then the number in between, here 4, cannot be in adjacent squares. Hope this helps.

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
Still not clear about the rules, I have filled up so far assuming that no neighboring numbers can be consecutive.
