Scarecrow's Cremation

(Published on 13. March 2026, 00:00 by NXTMaster)

This is the fourth puzzle in the Scarecrow series and serves as the grand finale. Previous puzzles are linked below the puzzle image. It has been five years since I set Scarecrow's Remains.

The rules are as follows:
  • Place the digits 1-9 once in every row and column.
  • Digits in the indicated diagonal sum to 14.
  • The crematorium's flames, enhanced by magic to be powerful enough to destroy Scarecrow's remains, also devastated the grid. As such:
    • The 3x3 boxes may or may not contain the full set of digits 1-9.
    • The nine shaded cells, one of Scarecrow's final remains, do not contain the full set of digits 1-9.
    • None of the nine disjoint groups, composed of cells in the same relative position in boxes, contain the full set of digits 1-9.

The puzzle is available on SudokuPad. Have fun cremating!
