Calm Chaos
(Published today, 06:07 by mellowrobinson)
- Divide the grid into nine orthogonally connected regions, each containing the digits 1-9, so there are no repeats in any row, column, or region.
- Along a green line, each pair of adjacent digits:
- In the same region must be consecutive;
- In different regions must have a difference of 5 or more.
- Digits in a cage do not repeat, and must sum to the indicated total.
- One region border has been given.
Solution code: column 2, top to bottom

Very nifty. Somehow I managed to deduce all the digits before completely finishing the painting. So I would have been able to fill in the solution code without getting home entirely. Maybe it was just me :D

Thank you! Great to see approachable Chaos Construction.

Interesting rules with cool setting. It’s a tricky 2* for sure, no more difficult deductions than 2* but they’re hard to spot with the way the constraints intersect. Thanks for the puzzle :)

Took me about 48 minutes to solve, which says more about my inexperience than anything else. Very neat stuff, and bravo for being able to hold my attention for that long.

very nice with some tricky deductions halfway through. Loved the right top corner deductions. Thanks

Very cool! But for me a fair bit harder than 2*. Thanks for the puzzle!
