Mini Snack Break
(Published on 15. April 2025, 01:53 by PhoenixAki)
- Mean Mini: This puzzle uses 4 of the digits from 1-9. Which 4 digits are used must be deduced by the solver. Place those 4 digits once each in every row, column, and 2x2 box.
- Killer Cages: Digits in dotted-line cages must sum to the number in the top left corner of the cage.
- German Whispers: Adjacent digits on a green line must have a difference of at least 5.
- Consecutive Pairs: Digits separated by a white dot must be consecutive.
To increase accessibility to my puzzles, I post solution videos on on my YouTube channel. If you'd like to solve this in your own video, go ahead! But ideally, let me know here or via Discord (same username) if you do ^.^
Solution code: row 1 from left to right (4 digits)

when i enter 3 on raw4 col4, there were confetti coming out, was very confusing, but finally solved it, it's interesting!

PhoenixAki: That's a joke reference to YouTube channel Cracking the Cryptic involving 3's being placed in the corners of the grid. It happens automatically in SudokuPad when a puzzle has a 3 in the corner.

The clues instantly hive the numbers away if you know how to look at them. About 20 seconds of thinking and another 20 seconds in sudokupad

First time I comment here at LMG.
This was an amazing snack-puzzle. Thought it would be more difficult than it was, as soon as you find how to think about it, it was fantastik puzzle.
Thank you

Absolutely gorgeous. The break-in seems opaque at first glance but immediately crumbles under any scrutiny. Truly an interesting GAS. Thanks!
