Parity lighthouse
(Eingestellt am 29. März 2026, 23:55 Uhr von Killer Joe)
Hello.
I created this puzzle before I came up with the modular islands and entropic islands (which I will post soon).
I expected it to be quite easy, but the feedback was mixed.
There were only a few testers, but they agreed that the first step is the hardest, even though they could fairly easily bifurcate the options in their head without pencil marks.
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
A digit placed in a circle indicates how many digits of the same parity (odd or even) it can see horizontally and vertically, including itself.
Digits of the opposite parity block vision.
Have fun.
Lösungscode: Row 9, first 6 digits.

Thanks for this great puzzle. I‘m also puzzled by the rating, because I found it very enjoyable. Yes, the break-in was the hardest part, but at least it is quite clear where to start. :-)

Great puzzle! The break-in is interesting and tricky, but still not that hard to find. Much higher rating deserved in my opinion. Thanks

Thank you for your comment. They can't all be winners. Although personally I'm very happy with this puzzle. Thanks for checking it out anyway! Grts Jonesy.

This definitely deserves better than the 77% it currently sits at, I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your comment. I wonder if placing a simple kropki dot would have been a good idea to give the solver an anchor to go off. Grts Jonesy.
