Secret Garden
(Published on 8. October 2025, 20:53 by abw)
My first Killer Sudoku puzzle, inspired by watching Cracking the Cryptic videos. It may help you to know Mark and Simon's "secret".
Normal sudoku rules apply: insert the digits 1 to 9 in each row, column and box without any digit repeating. Digits in killer cages sum to the total given. Digits may not repeat in a cage. The grey shaded cell contains an even number.
Solve online: SudokoPad
Solution code: The 9 digits in row 4.

Changed solution code to 9 digits, based on feedback received.

Great introduction to variant sudoku. Apart from the secret, a bit of dominoes and parity makes solving experience great. Only drawback: the loooong solution code. 18 digits were used in the past, but now nobody uses it (and it will low your ratings)

Lovely debut! The early stages are super straightforward, but then things break open a bit and the deductions require a little more cleverness. Can't wait to see your next one!

Great debut! Just a tip, a 9 digit solution code is enough :)

Very nice puzzle, chasing itself round the grid! More of a 1* difficulty in my opinion.
