Colours in the (k)night VII
(Published on 21. August 2025, 16:08 by Villse)
It’s been a while, but I finally managed to sit down and create another Sudoku for my “Colours in the (K)night” series.
Here are the links to the previous parts of the series:
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1–9 once in every row, column, and 3×3 box.
Anti-Knight: Cells separated by a knight’s move in chess cannot contain the same digit.
XV: Cells separated by a V sum to 5; cells separated by an X sum to 10. All Vs and Xs are given.
Kropki dots: Cells separated by a black dot must have a 1:2 ratio. Not all possible dots are necessarily given.
Solve online:Sudokupad
Happy solving!
Solution code: Row 8 (9 digits)

That was phenomenal. Took me a bit to get it right but I loved every second.

I just love coloring puzzles.
26:54 => average difficulty (15-30 for me).

I love Anti-knight puzzles and this was brilliant. Hard, but brilliant.
Thanks!

There's just not enough colors in this world for these negative constraint puzzles. Other than that, it was great fun.

Lovely coloring exercise. Would have been easier if i remembered the Knights rule but got almost all the way without it. Thanks!

Very nice! I didn’t realise there was a knight’s move constraint until the final stages where I had a deadly pattern, silly me. Thank you
