Pointing Down Under (Flat Mates)
(Published on 7. December 2025, 18:36 by gdc)
This puzzle is inspired by sǝʇɐW ʇɐlℲ ɥɔʇnp by Laake which puts a (literal) spin on the dutch flat mates constraint by Flinty. As always, thanks everyone for testing and I hope you enjoy!
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply.
Search 5: A digit D in an arrow indicates that 5 must be placed D steps away in the indicated direction.
Australian Flatmates: Every 5 must have a 1 directly below it and/or a 6 directly above it.
Shenanigans; One of the digits 1-6 (to be deduced) is the shenanigans digit. Every arrow containing the shenanigans digit is rotated 180°.
