Easy Peasy Sudoku Leftover (13) - Position Sums
(Published on 1. April 2026, 06:00 by Richard)
Making the Easy Peasy Advent Sudokus wasn't always easy for me, so I have a small pile of 13 leftovers. Some were too hard, others were equally hard, nice or interesting as the one in the Calendar.
Position Sums
Solve online in
Sudokupad.
This sudoku is in fact a leftover of the HSSC but I wrote it around the same time as the EPSA-one. It requires a good insight in the intrinsic logic of this type. If you know or realise the relationships between the clues in grey and white, this one flows like butter. If not: there is a lot of interesting stuff to discover! Aha-moments guaranteed. :)
But they are all too good to stay unused, so in the coming weeks there will be a leftover on Wednesday and Friday.
SVS will continue on April 3.
Apply classic sudoku rules.
Digits in the first and second cell from the top and from the left are A and B. Clues outside the grid tell something about A and B:
The sum of A and B is the closest to the grid;
The sum of the digits on positions A and B from that side are also outside the grid, in the grey bar.
Solution code: Row 1

Thank you very much for creating and sharing another beautiful construction. Nice break-in, but I gave 3* for struggling during the last part of the puzzle. Must have overlooked some easier steps …
