The Palpot Line (Palindromes/Meta Renban)
(Published on 20. February 2026, 20:02 by damo_89)
This puzzle is a celebration of palpot and uses their "Meta Renban" concept. If you like this concept, palpot has plenty of other puzzles in this vein. Consensus testing estimate was 2 stars. Good luck!
- Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1 to 9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box
- Palindromes: Digits along a grey line read the same in both directions
- Meta Renban: The digits along each line must sum to a unique number, and the sums of these lines must form a set of consecutive numbers. (For example, the lines could sum to 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31)

Super fun, I haven't seen meta renban before, but it was very cool to see how that can make everything join together.
