Nabnerman Whispers (with ChinStrap)
(Published on 3. March 2025, 16:12 by sujoyku)
- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.
- German Whispers: Adjacent digits on a green line must have a difference of at least 5.
- Nabner Lines: The yellow lines are Nabner Lines, i.e. on such a line there may not be consecutive or repeated digits. For example, if a 5 lies on a Nabner line, this line may not contain another 5 and neither a 4 nor a 6.
Clarification: The yellow crossing in Box 9 is a single Naber line consisting of 5 cells.
- Kropki: Digits joined by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. (Not all dots are given.)
Here you can solve the puzzle online:
Solution code: Row 7 from left to right (9 digits in total)

When Nabnerman whispers, who answers? Is he some sort of mathematical crimefighter? I don't know but it's a lovely puzzle!
**
Thank you for your comment, QuiltyAsCharged! It made me smile. A friend of ours already suggested that Nabnerman could be some sort of superhero. ChinStrap and I wondered what his special ability would be. I thought it could be preventing the villains to gather closely, so Nabnerman can fight them one by one. But who would Nabnerman be without the help of Kropki Dot? Of course, she also has a special skill which is making things doubled or half their size.

Beautiful puzzle. I will be interested to see if this is scored a 2* or 3* by the solvers. Thanks for sharing.

You are much welcome, PinkNickels, thank you for commenting! We are glad you enjoyed the puzzle. Regarding difficulty, I was curious as well. At the moment, it stands at 2 stars, but it could still go either way.
