Crossing a Line
(Published on 6. July 2025, 12:20 by RoystonDA)
This is my first ever attempt at creating a puzzle. Thanks Black_Doom and Marty_Sears for showing me the ropes! I hope you all enjoy
Standard sudoku rules apply.
German Whisper Lines: Digits along a green line must differ by at least 5.
Modular Lines: Every set of 3 digits along a teal line must include a [1,4,7] [2,5,8] and a [3,6,9]
Entropic Lines: Every set of 3 digits along a peach line must include a [1,2,3] [4,5,6] and a [7,8,9]
Kropki dots: Cells separated by white dots are consecutive. Cells separated by black dots are 1:2 ratio
Solution code: Row 9 left to right

Nice puzzle. Just a comment, the German Whisper rule hasn't changed in the Sudokupad link, so might be good to fix that there.
Good setting!

This is such a great first puzzle, kudos! The coloring phase solves so beautifully

you need considerable experience with the relevant constraints in order to solve this comfortably. THEREFORE, difficulty 2 is more accurate.

Great puzzle, neat interplay between entropy and whispers, for sure!

Corrected German Whisper rule

Nice puzzle! Maybe adjust the German Whisper rule to "differ by at least 5", because exactly 5 is impossible.

Fun puzzle, but the entropic lines are peach not teal.
