Tenacity II
(Published on 18. March 2025, 15:09 by ChinStrap)
A follow on to Tenacity, it is just so fun to play with tentropy lines. Thanks to all who tested!
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Tentropy Lines: Every set of 4 adjacent digits on a peach line must contain a digit from each of the X-pair (ten-pair) subsets of {1,9}, {2,8}, {3,7}, and {4,6}. A 5 may not appear on a tentropy line. Digits on a line may repeat if allowed by other rules.
- Little Killers: Numbers outside the grid are the sum of the digits pointed to along the indicated diagonal. Digits are allowed to repeat along those diagonals as normally allowed by the other rules.
All feedback (positive or critical) appreciated!
Solution code: Box 5, in left to right reading order (9 digits)

Epitome of what a variant sudoku should be.

Fantastic the way it all flowed and collapsed at the end! Great puzzle!

Loved it! I had to try a couple times at the break in.

Very fun puzzle! The way it all falls apart is just as much fun as the way it all builds itself up.

That flowed very nicely. The breaking was quite tough but when I got the core idea everything fell into place perfectly. Thanks for setting!

Thank you for this lovely puzzle, ChinStrap! It solves just as beautiful as it looks.

This has a really nice flow all the way though, resolution is very satisfying
