Narrow Escape Redux
(Published on 28. September 2025, 15:39 by HalfBakedLunatic)
I had been playing around with a few variations on the opening logic for my recent puzzle "Narrow Escape". This one goes back to the original idea I started with - it's slightly easier overall but with one very satisfying deduction to place the first digit.
The Rules:
• Normal Sudoku Rules Apply
• Digits in cages must sum to the number in the corner of the cage, digits can not repeat in cages
• Digits in cells separated by a black dot must be in a 2:1 ratio, digits in cells separated by a white dot must be consecutive - not all dots are shown

Nice puzzle - maybe this is because I did Redux first, but I found it harder than the original xD

Nice interaction between the cages and the black kropkis. Lovely puzzle.

It's a great puzzle. I was stuck for quite a while before getting that first digit - just need a bit of circular reasoning!
