Setterdoku - Level 3
(Published on 27. April 2025, 21:09 by chameleon)
This puzzle is a part of series:
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply.
Except... You're not the solver, you're the setter!
Cells marked with cages must have the indicated candidates by sudoku. Place some "given" digits into the grid to force these exact candidates. i.e. after placing your given digits, every digit from the cage clue must lead to one or more sudoku solutions, and every digit not listed in the cage clue must not.
For instance, 1, 2, 3 and 4 must be valid candidates for the top left cell after placing your givens, but 5 and 6 shouldn't be valid candidates.
Note: you might need to use advanced sudoku techniques for forcing some candidates.
Solve online: SudokuPad
Note: it's recommended to turn the "check on finish" setting off in SudokuPad (it's in the "gameplay" section) to avoid being spoilered about finishing the puzzle (since there are not so many digits to place)
