Bowled (A Cricket Themed Puzzle)

(Published on 9. May 2026, 02:15 by Sudokujoker)

​"Bowled"

A puzzle for any cricket lovers out there :)

​Normal Sudoku rules apply: place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box. ​

All-rounder Anti-King: No digit may be within one diagonal square of the same digit (i.e. it may not be within a chess king's move).

​Wicket Whispers: The wickets and bails, drawn in white, are 6-whispers lines. Any adjacent digits on these lines must have a difference of at least 6. ​

Splattered Stumps Sum: The thin blue line is a region sum line. The box borders divide this line into sections which each have the same sum. ​

Odd Ball: The digit in the red cricket ball must be an odd number.
