Sudoku Variants Series (378) - Shifted X-Sums Sudoku

(Published on 3. August 2022, 02:00 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.

Shifted X-Sums Sudoku
Apply classic sudoku rules.
Clues outside the grid indicate the sum of the first X digits from the Nth cell from that side, where X is the digit in the Nth cell and N is the digit in the first cell from that side.

Inspiration for this type comes from Lizzy01

Solve online in F-Puzzles or CtC-app (thx Lizzy01 and Nick Smirnov!)

Solution code: Row 5, followed by column 3.

@henrypijames

Broke the puzzle right away, then realized I'd totally misunderstood the rules. :P I thought the clue sums up the first X digits from the grid edge (but X is determined by N). Having thought about it for a bit, I believe that to be an equally interesting ruleset - maybe you can give it a try, Richard?

Answer: Hi Henry, I don't see exactly what you mean. Can you be more precise or give an example of a correct clue + corresponding row?

Lizzy is right - I was thinking the same thing as Y-sums.

Normally I don‘t like such mindbending rules, but this puzzle was quite approachable - and so nice! Thank you very much.
