Rank Up 20.Marty - Hitlines

(Eingestellt am 8. Oktober 2025, 01:35 Uhr von marty_sears)

Over the last year and a half, ThePedallingPianist has been thoroughly exploring the Full Rank constraint with his Dad Bellal, in their epic Rank Up series. For the final instalment, he asked other setters to each send in their own version of episode 20. This is my contribution.

    Rules:

    Fill the 5x5 grid with the digits 1-5 so that digits don't repeat in a row or column. External cells can contain any number from 1-20.

    FULL RANK: A number entered in an external cell represents the rank of the 5-digit number formed by reading the digits in that row or column from that direction, where (1) is the lowest 5-digit number and (20) is the highest. This puzzle does not have any tied ranks.

    HITLINES: Numbers cannot repeat along a hitline. The small clue in the top-left corner of a square indicates the total of any numbers along its line that match their position number, reading along in order from the square end, which is position 1.

    eg: If a hitline contained the numbers 13, 2, 1, 19, 5 in that order, then its clue would be 7 (the sum of 2 and 5, which are the only numbers on the line that match their position number; 2 is in the 2nd position and 5 is in the 5th position.)

Other Episode 20s from other setters

Lösungscode: Row 1 of the grid from left to right (5 digits)

Lovely little puzzle. That final step was very intricate, took me a while to locate it

The last bit was so sneaky XD

No matter how many rank sudokus I do I will never ever ever remember that 1 is the lowest number. Just mind bogglingly counter intuitive for me. Great puzzle though!

That was my first full rank and my second hitline puzzle. So it was much harder than 2* for me. Especially the tail of the long hitline fooled me. A funny puzzle with very nice logic. Thanks, Marty.

By the way: will there be another season with Finkz?

Marty: absolutely. The final season is in the making, I think it will take a couple more months to finalise

I did a couple ranked yet. Great addition. The last deduction is very clever. Great setting thx.

Whew!
This might be “accessible” if you've followed the Rank Up series, but definitely not for a Full Rank newbie like me!
But I've figured it out eventually. Very elegant puzzle.

Pretty good variety for such a small puzzle. I enjoyed that.

This should be in the full rank puzzle intro textbook. Very fun and approachable.

A really well constructed puzzle. Perhaps trickier than it looks?? Took me about 30min.

That‘s a nice, fitting and quite approachable entry iinto the series. In particular, I liked how much that one hitline managed to shape the solution. Thanks for sharing.
