Hungarian Tapa Roller Coaster #1 (9x9)

(Eingestellt am 23. September 2022, 20:45 Uhr von KNT)

Here we have a hybrid between two lesser known puzzle types: Hungarian Tapa, and Roller Coaster. This should serve as an introductory puzzle to a larger one coming in the future. With my first "introductory" Japanese Sum Nurikabe, it ended up 5 stars, so this time I have decided to try and not go overboard at all. I expect this to be 3-4 stars. Enjoy!

Rules:
  • Latin Square/Tapa: Shade some empty cells to create a single connected wall. Cells with clues cannot be shaded, and the shaded cells cannot form a 2×2 square anywhere in the grid. Each row and column must contain six shaded cells. Place a number from 1 to 6 into each shaded cell so that each number appears once in each row and column.
  • Hungarian Tapa: Numbers in a cell indicate the sums of the numbers of consecutive shaded blocks in the neighboring cells. If there is more than one number in a cell, then there must be at least one unshaded cell between the shaded cell groups. Numbers on the shaded cells can repeat in a sum.
  • Loop: Draw a closed loop that passes through some shaded cells, and every unshaded cell (this includes clued cells).
  • Roller Coaster: Clues outside the grid are roller coaster clues. In the rows, the clues indicate the sums of digits on each horizontal stretch of the loop, in the order they appear, left to right. Likewise for the columns and vertical segments, top to bottom. For any row or column, either all or no roller coaster clues are given.
  • Question Marks: A ? represents a single digit number, which may be 0. A ?? represents a double digit number, which may not begin with 0, but may end in 0.
The puzzle can be played here. Answer check will appear when all numbers and loop segments are entered correctly.

Below is an example on the numbers 1 through 4 to demonstrate the rules.

Lösungscode: Row 3, with S for straight segment of loop, and L for a turn of the loop. If a cell has both a digit and loop, enter the digit first. For Row 3 of the example, the solution code would be 2SL4SL13S.

I've never before felt so rewarded every time I discovered another rule that I'd overlooked while skimming through the ruleset. XD

This was just fascinating stuff ! I had trouble getting acquainted with the ruleset at first because of all I had to keep in mind, but once I did, it was a real treat of a roller coaster ride ! Now I'm off to try the bigger one !! Buckle up ! :)

Great fun as usual ;-) And not too difficult. Still challenging enough to keep in mind all rules.

Updated link due to some bugs in Penpa+ regarding resizing the grid

That was great! Also, next time I won't forget the rule about the loop going through all unshaded cells.
