Kaleidoscope (Zipper Lines, Parity Mirrors)

(Published on 24. October 2025, 23:36 by DubiousMobius)

This puzzle was created for Scojo's weekly setting prompt. This time the theme was reflections, with a particular call-out to parity mirrors. Big thanks to Calvinball and IkeManga for testing the puzzle! All feedback is appreciated, and thanks for playing!

Rules:

Sudoku:Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.

Zippers: Along a purple line, any two cells an equal distance along the line from the center cell will add to the digit in the center cell.

Parity Mirrors: The thin light blue lines are both parity mirrors. If a pair of cells reflect to one another across either of those lines, that pair of cells will share their parity (i.e. both will be even or both will be odd).

Very fun, but for me a solid 3-3.5 difficulty (based on that I quite constantly need 10min per star).

I really enjoyed how the nonstandard placement of the mirrors subverted my expectations. Thanks for the fun puzzle mate!
