Odd Parity Sensors
(Published on 12. May 2026, 17:04 by BlueToast001)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Put the Digits 1 - 9 in every row, column and 3x3 box.
White Kropki: Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all possible dots are shown.
Thermometer: Digits on thermometers increase from the bulb to the tip.
Sensors: Red circles act as sensors: each number in a red circle equals the number of ODD digits a king’s move away within the same 3×3 box, including itself.
For example, if a circled cell sits in a position where its king’s move within its box covers 6 cells containing the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9, then the circle would be 4, since 1, 3, 5, and 9 are odd.
Those are the rules! Good luck!

Lovely puzzle! I actually found it easier than the even puzzle, but maybe that's just because I am more used to the mechanic than yesterday lol

Completely agree with Sotiris6V, two stars too and it's not harder than the even variant at all !! I solved the even one in 19 minutes and this one in 14 !

Very nice puzzle with some nice deductions, but definitely not a 3*.
-Thank you for taking the time to solve! I'm crap at setting the difficulties. I done a puzzle like this using even parity instead of odd and it was 2 stars, this odd one is harder, so assumed 3 stars would fit. I also done a good amount of testing and thought it was ok to be 3. Do you think it was easier than 3 stars?
