Sudoku Variants Series (189) - Distance Sudoku

(Published on 11. July 2017, 00:00 by Richard)

For this Sudoku Variants Project I have planned to publish a different Sudoku variant every Tuesday. I will see how long it takes before I am running out of ideas.

Distance Sudoku
Place the digits from 1 to 9 once in every row, column and 3x3-block. Clues outside the grid represent the distances (in steps) between the given digits for the corresponding directions, in order. (In column 1 the 2 is placed higher than the 3 and there are two cells between them.)

Inspiration for this type comes from WSC 2007.

Solve online in Penpa+ (thx Nick Smirnov!)

Solution code: Row 6, followed by column 4.

@Saskia: In Spalte 1 bedeutet 2-3, dass die 2 vor der 3 kommt. :3 bedeutet, dass die 2 genau 3 Zeilen vor der 3 kommt. Also könne die 2 in R1 sein und die 3 in R4, oder die 2 in R2 und die 3 in R5 usw.
