U-Bahn Under Arrows

(Published on 7. April 2025, 05:57 by wooferzfg)

The rules for this puzzle are similar to a series by Zzzyxas. There is also a puzzle by KNT with similar rules.

If you are unfamiliar with U-Bahn, here is a guide that covers the core logic.

Rules

The first diagram is a standard U-Bahn. Draw a loop network through the centers of some cells, which may branch or turn, but may not have any dead ends. A clue outside the grid indicates how many times the corresponding line shape (i.e. a cross, branch, straight line, or turn) appears in the corresponding row or column, irrespective of the line shape's rotation.

The second diagram is a 6x6 Latin Square. Place the numbers from 1 to 6 exactly once in every row and column. Numbers on arrows must sum to the number in the circle.

The third diagram indicates exactly how many times a cell of the Latin Square contains the given number and the same relative cell of the U-Bahn contains the given line shape.

Incredible logic and construction, especially with so few clues.

(answer check didn't work for me, but the solution code did)

I hardly realized what to do with the clues. But when I found out, the puzzle was nice.
