Top Right Boi
(Published on 21. June 2025, 12:00 by TVDK)
Normal 9x9 sudoku rules apply.
Top Right:
The top right cell in each box is modified, and has a value of +1 for the boi's path but NOT the arrows or sweets.
Boi:
The boi in the top right of the grid travels through the grid to the house moving orthogonally between the centres of some cells and does NOT branch or visit the same cell more than once. Each sweet has a different digit from 3 to 9. The boi visits all the sweets in an ascending order starting at the 3, and ending at 9. Adjacent values along the boi's path must differ by five or more.
Arrows:
Digits on cells with an arrow indicate the amount of trail cells seen in the indicated direction. An arrow does not see the cell it is in.

Amazing that this puzzle resolves at all! I found this really smooth once I wrapped my head around the rules, thank you!

I appreciate that this was not just Top and Right, but also Boi.

This is the best puzzle I have ever solved.

Very nice. One of those where the rules are probably scarier than the logic. 20 minutes solve, so 2/5 is definitely fair. :)

What a terrific path finding puzzle! I tried it out because it was the Top Right Boi with the fewest solves, and I'm so glad I did.
I wondered for a moment if the boi might be Augustus Gloop, since he's a German child on a candy seeking adventure. However, he speaks in a whisper, and he finds his way home without any mishaps, so I doubt it.
