A Nice Knightly Snack

(Published on 10. April 2025, 08:32 by PhoenixAki)

This puzzle is part of my snackdoku series. Snackdokus are sudoku puzzles that use a 4x4 grid instead of 9x9 and are designed to be very simple and accessible, using minimal rules (usually 1-2 maximum, occasionally more). If you are experienced with variant sudoku already, this will likely solve in ~1 minute, maybe even ~30 seconds. They are wonderful starting points for newcomers to variant sudoku or experienced solvers who want to speedrun how quick they can solve a simpler puzzle as a break from tougher ones.

Check out my other puzzles if you like what you see here! You can find them on my user profile here on LMD or you can find links to them in the descriptions of my solution videos for each one on my YouTube channel.

Happy solving!


Rules:
  • Normal 4x4 sudoku rules apply: place the digits 1-4 in each row, column, and 2x2 box.
  • Antiknight: Digits can not repeat in cells that are a knight's move away from it (chess move).
  • X-Sums: A number next to a row or column in the grid indicates the sum of the first X digits in that row or column, with X being the first digit seen in that clue's direction. For example, if a column had a 5 clue outside it and the first digit was 2, that would mean the first 2 digits in that column sum to 5.
  • Arrows: A number in a circle is the sum of the digits along the arrow that emanates from it.
Solve on Sudokupad here! Everyone is welcome to solve this on a stream or video, but I would prefer you let me know when such a thing happens so I can check it out (DM me on Discord, same username phoenixaki) :)

Solution code: Row 4's digits from left to right (4 digits)
