Erica 20 (Antiknight Fog Edition)
(Eingestellt am 30. November 2025, 17:15 Uhr von SennyK)
Today's Erica has a lot in common with chess knight :-)
I hope you will enjoy and I would be really grateful for all the comments and ratings.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Fog: The grid is partially covered in fog. Entering correct digit will clear fog from its cell and all cells knight's move away (in chess). No guessing is required.
Antiknight: Cells seperated by a knight’s move (in chess) cannot have the same digit.
German whisper: Neighbouring/adjacent digits along a green line have a difference of at least 5.
X/V: Digits in cells joined by an X sum to 10. Digits in cells joined by a V sum to 5. Not all Xs and Vs are given.
Antiknight Explanation:
You can imagine that digit 1 is a chess knight. Each cell accessible to it via a knight's move (in chess) cannot contain another 1.

Really fun puzzle thanks SennyK. I’m enjoying your Erica series.
And thanks VitP for the colouring tip which got me out of some sticky situations.

a couple people in the comments seem to be unfamiliar with how pair colouring works.
There will be a number of cells where you have a PAIR of candidates, eg. {23}. label one of them red, say, and the other green (good contrast). propagate that colouring around the grid. you will find a cell with candidates {123} that "sees" both red and green, and therefore must be 1. later, do the same thing with the {79} pair.

2.5* for me as well. Fun puzzle with a challenging endgame.

pair colouring, which is not quite a basic technique (but it COULD be) features strongly in this puzzle
