A Bit Of A Stretch (Zipper Lines)
(Published on 11. May 2024, 19:35 by gdc)
This puzzle is a remake of Zippin' Me Softly - a zipper puzzle from back when those lines were still very new to LMD. I still like that older puzzle of mine, but think this remade version has a smoother transition into the end-solve. Thanks to the CtC-fan-discord for testing and feedback.
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Digits an equal distance from the circled center of a zipper line sum to the central digit.

would have been a very smooth solve if not for my inability to perform basic arithmetics

I stared at it a long time before it revealed itself. My favorite kind of puzzle. Simple rules, straightforward logic.
