To those complaining about the "long" solution code, don't forget you can copy/paste, option available in advanced settings of sudokupad. It would be worse if it was 2 columns

Cool puzzle. An unusual variant, but I enjoyed it.
The solution code has no business being that long, though.

Zibl: Glad you enjoyed the puzzle!
