Anti-Diagonal
(Published on 16. July 2025, 13:02 by vitaminz)
This is part of a series exploring the idea of the strange rule in the puzzle. The break-in here is exactly the same as that in "Pro-Diagonal" but this removes the anti-knight constraint which drastically changes the rest.
1. Parity Parity
2. Pro-Diagonal
If you would like to play a version with one more given digit that smooths out the main solve a bit, you can find that here.

RULES:
Latin Square rules apply (place the digits 1 to 9 once each in every row and column).
Parity Parity: The grid is covered in a checkerboard pattern of yellow and blue cells. Each digit appears in one of the colors exactly as many times as its value. For example, 7 will appear either exactly seven times in blue or exactly seven times in yellow.
Anti-Diagonal (Negative): Digits may not repeat along any negative diagonal (those going from the top left to the bottom right).

These constraints really work together in a fun way. Nice puzzle 8-)

Brilliant construction! Thank you:)

With lessons from the previous ones it went relatively smooth, but i admit to having conflict checker on because the scanning was quite hard. Cool series. Thanks!
