Helix
(Published on 13. October 2025, 13:47 by Gerhard1963)
If you squint your eyes, it kinda looks like a DNA-Helix from afar.
Rules:
- Standard sudoku rules apply: The digits 1 through 9 appear in every row, column, and box.
- Parity line: Digits along a parity line alternate odd/even.
- Little Killers: Clues outside the grid are the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. Digits may repeat if allowed by other rules.
- Kropki pairs: Digits in cells separated by a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio. Digits in cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are necessarily given.

Solution code: The digits on the positive diagonal (from bottom left to top right).

Nice puzzle. Just one note: The copy button in SudokuPad takes digits from top to bottom – exactly in the opposite direction you are asking for, which is probably not what you intended. So if you really really need a diagonal as solution code (I don't get why tbh), then at least don't make it so fiddly.
