Dutch Whispers with a twist (6x6 puzzle pack)

(Published on 16. May 2025, 20:25 by sujoyku)

This puzzle pack has been set for a Dutch Whispers Setting Saturday prompt. It explores them in 6x6 puzzles with modifiers (puzzle 1 and 3) or applied to segment sums (puzzle 2). Many thanks to ChinStrap and Calvinball for testing! I wish you joyful solving!

Common Rules:

- Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column and 2x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 6 once each.

- Dutch Whisper: Adjacent values on an orange line must have a difference of at least 4. (The value of a non-modifier cell equals the digit it contains.)

Specific Rules:

Puzzle 1: Nullkommanix

- Nullifiers: Place one nullifier cell in each row, column and region. The value of a nullifier equals 0 (no matter what digit it contains). No two nullifier cells may contain identical digits.

Puzzle 2: Dutch Dots

- Dutch Dots: Line segments joined by a dot must have sums that differ by at least 4.

Puzzle 3: Excuus mijn Pseudo-Dutch

- Pseudo cells: Place one pseudo cell in each row, column and region. The value of a pseudo cell is the sum of its row and column number (no matter what digit it contains). No two pseudo cells may contain identical digits.
