Our puzzle combines the three by three variant (each box using exactly 3 out of the digits 1-9) with Equal Split Lines. Please keep in mind that digits may repeat on the lines (and even within segments). Many thanks to dumediat and MSDOS for testing! We wish you joyful solving!
Place the digits from 1-9 in the grid so that they do not repeat in any row or column. Digits can (and will) repeat in each 3x3 box. Each box will use exactly 3 of the digits from 1-9.
Equal Split Lines: Dots divide blue lines into segments with equal sums. Note: Digits may repeat even within one segment.
Here you can solve the puzzle online:
Solution code: Row 5 from left to right (9 digits in total)
