Sudoku Variants Series (273) - Thermal Killer Sudoku

(Published on 17. June 2020, 00:00 by Richard)

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

Thermal Killer Sudoku
Apply classic sudoku rules.
The small numbers in the upper left corner of the cages indicate the sum of the digits in that area. Within each cage all digits must be different and they must be placed in a way that they are all horizontally or vertically connected in an increasing order, such that they form a snake-like pattern of one cell wide.

Inspiration for this type comes from Madmahogany.

Solve online in F-Puzzles (thanks Krokant!)

Solution code: Row 5, followed by column 5.

Thanks to CtC for reminding me that I didn't enter my solution for this one. It's very nice and a smooth solving experience!

I'm no big fan of killer-like puzzles, but this was interesting. Found it a bit hard though… four stars for me :-)

Unheimlich schön, wie sich die Ziffern im Verlauf finden ließen.

@henrypijames, es ist auch bei breiten Käfigen möglich, eine Folge von orthogonal benachbarten Zellen zu formen. Zum Beispiel in der 19 kann die Folge R7C1 R6C1 R5C1 R5C2 R6C2 verlaufen, oder umgekehrt. Aber auch R7C1 R6C1 R6C2 R5C2 R5C1 ist möglich. Erst bei der 45 wird's aber arg brenzlig :-D

Verstehe wieder die Regel nicht - selbst mit dem verlinkten Beispiel. Was heisst denn "aufsteigend", wenn der Box mehr als eine Zeile breit ist? Und falls vertikal, ist von unten nach oben, oder von oben nach unten (oder beides)?

Edit: Ahh! "Horizontal oder vertikal" heisst in diesem Fall nur "orthogonal" (von einer Zelle zur naechsten). Dann ist alles klar. Die urspruengliche Formulierung laesst denken, die ganze Reihe muesse horizontal oder vertikal sein.
