Slow Down and Have a Snack!
(Published on 10. April 2025, 21:17 by PhoenixAki)
This puzzle was co-created alongside Carabet at Sudokucon 2025. It was both of ours first attempt at making a snackdoku and it was fun to work together!
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!
