Indexing Sword
(Published on 11. January 2026, 16:45 by SennyK)
I am happy to present you the puzzle created for Scojo's prompt with index lines and fortress :-)
I hope you will enjoy and I would be really grateful for all the comments and ratings.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Index Lines: Each turquoise line is an Index Line, i.e. the digit in the Nth cell along such a line (starting from the diamond) indicates the position along the line where the digit N appears. For example, if a diamond cell contains a 3, the third cell along that line must have a 1.
Minimum: Yellow cells with arrows pointing inwards must be smaller than all orthogonally adjacent cells.
Maximum: Red cells with arrows pointing outwards must be larger than all orthogonally adjacent cells.
