Via Satellite (Killer + Index Lines)

(Published on 16. June 2025, 16:03 by sujoyku)

Killer Sudoku and Index Lines are among my favourite variants. So it might not be a huge surprise that I got curious about making both rulesets interact. I like to thank all testers and wish you joyful solving!

- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column, and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.

- Index Lines: Each turquoise line is an Index Line, i.e. the digit in the Nth cell along such a line (starting from the diamond) indicates the position along the line where the digit N appears. For example, if a diamond cell contains a 3, the third cell along that line must have a 1.

- Killer Cages: Digits in a cage do not repeat and sum to the clue in the top left.

Here you can solve the puzzle online:
