XV Step on the GAS
(Published on 22. February 2025, 01:38 by RedBarchetta)
Rules: Normal Sudoku / Normal Variant rules apply.
Kropki Dots – Digits on white dots are consecutive.
XV – Digits separated by an X sum to 10. Digits separated by a V sum to 5. All XV clues are given.
Commentary Corner: Inspiration came from The Bard’s 33 X’s. I tried to see how many X’s I could fit. Looks like 36 on this puzzle.

This was very very fun to solve, thank you. Using THIS many clues without any seeming unnessecary or making the puzzle too easy is really impressive! Solving this by fully coloring everything before filling in the numbers was a fun challenge :) again, thanks!

It seems obvious based on your goal of putting as many XV clues as possible, but somehow I missed the rule "All XV clues are given" that slowed me down...
Super fun!

I love that this is a challenge for the setter instead of for the solver. Bravo!
