Erica 10
(Published on 15. November 2025, 17:15 by SennyK)
As I have promised, this time Erica is EZ PZ Lemon Squeezy! ;-)
It is a little bit challenging, but not hard, just take your crayons and you will be good :-)
I hope you will enjoy and I would be really grateful for all the comments and ratings.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
German whisper: Neighbouring/adjacent digits along a green line have a difference of at least 5.
V: Digits in cells joined by a V sum to 5. Not all Vs are given.
Entropic: Any sequence of 3 adjacent digits along a peach line must have a low digit (123), a medium digit (456) and a high digit (789).
Entropic Line Explanation:
Basically, if one digit on the line is low, then every third digit will also be low; same applies for the remaining groups.

Very nice puzzle, thank you. I enjoyed the interaction between the two types of lines.
I had to start over three times, each time after spending over an hour creating a confusing mess of colors and pencil marks.
But I really wanted to solve it, because I enjoy the Erica series, and I finally finished it in 36:13 :)

Impressive. I struggled for quite a bit, but extremely slowly managed to get to the end. Once I had a few things click into place it was very smooth.

I certainly wouldn't describe it as "easy"! But, it did have a lovely flow once I'd figured out a brilliant break in!
