Little Fillers
(Published on 20. December 2024, 05:11 by pdyxs)
Sudoku: Fill the grid with digits 1 to 9, so that each digit occurs exactly once in every row, every column and every 3x3 box.
Renban: A purple line contains a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order. All renban lines are straight and do not bend.
Sandwich: Clues outside the grid show the sum of the digits between the 1 and 9 in that row or column
Little Killer: Clues outside the grid with an arrow ALSO shows the sum of the digits on the indicated diagonal
Blank Clues: A box outside the grid shows that the Little Killer and Sandwich clues here have the same value, to be determined by the solver. Each box can be a different value.
Solution code: Row 7, then Row 9

I have to admit, despite you helpfully capitalizing ALSO, i glossed over it and spent a half hour thinking this was a 4* +. (upon realizing the rules, agree that 3/3.5 is about right. Really liked this variation on the ruleset. I felt very clunky at first, but feel like with a few reps could get more fluid.

Cool puzzle, thanks for sharing! Slowly ruling out where the 1's and 9's could go felt very rewarding, and the interactions between the diagonals are very cool! I struggled a bit with the last sudoku part, maybe I missed some clever trick there. Good puzzle! :)
