Scarecrow
(Published on 20. February 2026, 00:00 by NXTMaster)
Almost five years ago, I made a series of puzzles revolving around the entity with codename "Scarecrow." The time has finally come to finish the Scarecrow saga once and for all.
The rules are as follows:
The puzzle is available on SudokuPad. Have fun solving or walking down memory lane if you attempted this puzzle all those years ago when it featured on the CTC YT channel!
The rules are as follows:
- Place the digits 1-9 once in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Extra Regions: Digits must not repeat within each of the colored extra regions.
- Disjoint Groups: Each digit occupies each possible position in a 3x3 box once.
The puzzle is available on SudokuPad. Have fun solving or walking down memory lane if you attempted this puzzle all those years ago when it featured on the CTC YT channel!
The sprite of Scarecrow is from the video game Defender of Texel, not created by me.
Solution code: Row 9

It’s really straightforward once you realize the geometry of the regions. Two stars for me.

Really hard for me. did a lot of checking but made no mistakes along the way. A good challenge especially since i didn't give up and managed to solve it. Took over an hour though.

Thank you for defeating Scarecrow! Disjoint Groups can be painful scanning exercises, but I am glad you prevailed.

Suprisingly approachable for a disjoint puzzle and I really liked the geometry with the extra regions.

I am glad you liked the extra regions. There will be more where that came from in the upcoming sequel ;)
