Remnant (Overlaps/Coordinate arrows)
(Published on 28. June 2025, 08:00 by dumediat)
This puzzle was created in response to one of Scojo's Setting Saturday prompts, which was to set a puzzle using the coordinate arrows constraint.
Ratings, comments, and feedback are much appreciated! Please feel free to reach out to me on Discord if you have any comments or questions. Please also feel free to try my other puzzles here.
Rules:
- Overlaps: Each square is the center of a 3x3 box. Fill the grid with the digits 1-9 such that digits do not repeat in any row, column, or aforementioned box.
- Coordinate arrows: Digits on an arrow spell out the coordinates for the digit that is their sum. The row number is written on the start of the arrow, the column number is written on the arrow tip. If for example an arrow looks like this: -1 4-> then there must be a 5 in r1c4. All the arrows must correspond to different coordinates. Digits may repeat on an arrow if allowed by other rules.

First it looked to me like the grid is not restricted at all, but then it clicked to me... Clever idea and nice execution!
