Angled Sets
(Published on 24. June 2025, 23:38 by kyuquu)
For this puzzle, I went for a slightly more difficult break-in and solve path than I'm used to. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
RULES:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Renban: Digits along a purple renban line form a set of consecutive, nonrepeating digits in any order.
Killer Cages: Digits within a killer cage do not repeat and sum to the value in the top left corner.
Partial Kropki: Digits separated by a black kropki dot are in a 1:2 ratio. Not all possible kropki dots are given.
Solution code: Row 5 (left to right)

Not too bad of a break in, but the reciprocating logic for the remainder of the solve was divine!

That made me break a sweat at first but loved to see it all fall into place

Beautiful puzzle. Definitely between 3 & 4* difficulty just for the break-in and the initial steps after that.

in order to qualify for difficulty 2, there needs to be SOMETHING that a "beginner" could grab on to. here, there is nothing. "experts only" puzzle --> difficulty 3, AT LEAST.
@VitP test solvers gave me a mix of 2* and 3* ratings, so I wasn't sure. thanks for the feedback!
