Seven Lines
(Published on 13. January 2026, 21:06 by StephenR)
This is my first puzzle - I don't think I've made any howlers but please leave a comment if you spot anything. I've marked it as two stars, but wouldn't be surprised if some rate it at one star.
However many stars, I hope you enjoy it.
Rules
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in the larger white circles must appear at least once in the four surrounding cells.
- Digits on a pink line form a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits in any order.
- Digits on the blue line have the same sum in each box the line passes through.
- A black dot separates digits where one is double the other.
- A smaller white dot separates consecutive digits.
- Digits in the cage sum to the number in the top-left corner.
Solution code: Row 7

I only created my account here a few days ago and am still a little too intimidated to move on to any of the two stars, but of all the Sudokus I've ever tried my hand at, this made me feel the most accomplished. Loved every second!

Superb puzzle, enjoyed every second. Thanks for publishing and if it's a one and done, then fair enough, but you've got the knack for it!

I was surprised to see that it was your first puzzle, it was very nice, but I confirm the 1* for difficulty (which is not a bad thing at all)
Well done and I hope you will post others ! :)

A good first puzzle. Flowed very nicely and very approachable. The speed merchants will do this in less than 5 minutes, but I took my time and enjoyed it.
