Broken Clock
(Published on 22. November 2025, 11:15 by Wiggel)
I wanted to make a sudoku with as many different Roman numerals as possible.
To make it easier to parse, even for people not that fluent with Roman numerals, I used a clock as the base.
The result is a fairly approachable puzzle. Enjoy.
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Roman numerals: Digits touching a Roman numeral sum to its value.
- Kropki dots: Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are given.
Solution code: Row 1 (left to right)

Nice one, but making the clock a lighter shade would help with pencil marks.

It would've helped if i hadn't kept trying to make 1-9 add up to XI. ;)

Took me a moment to clock what was going on but after that everything was smooth so unlike this device I didn't lose an hour.
