3 Vs: Various Viable Views
(Published on 19. February 2026, 20:16 by gadgetgreen)
Inspired by the beautiful "XOV" series from The Bard.
Modified Sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 0-6 once each in every row, column and outlined region. However, there will be one digit in each that does not fit. This digit can vary between rows, columns, and regions and needs to be determined by the solver.
XV: Digits separated by an X sum to 10, those separated by a V sum to 5. All Xs and Vs have been given
Kropki Pairs: Digits separated by a black dot must be in a 2:1 ratio. Digits separated by a white dot must be consecutive.
Solution code: Row 5

Great fun little puzzle! Keep creating!!! It is cool to see the ideas that you are coming up with that I haven’t tried.
Thanks for the acknowledgement, but I hope you’re not doing it because you feel obligated.
