Knights of the Round Times Table
(Published on 17. July 2026, 00:05 by AaronH)
Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply: fill the grid with digits 1–9 so that no digit repeats in any row, column, or 3×3 box.
All variant clues follow their standard meanings; full descriptions are provided below.
- Anti‑Knight: Cells a knight’s move apart (as in chess) may not contain the same digit. The Anti-knight icon is a reminder for this rule and has no special meaning for the cell it is located in.
- Counting Circles: There are 28 circles in this puzzle. A value inside a circle indicates how many times that value appears among all circled cells.
- Killer cages: Digits in cages must sum to the value shown in the top corner
- Modular Line: Along a teal line, any three adjacent digits must include one digit from each of the modulo‑3 sets {1,4,7}, {2,5,8}, and {3,6,9}.

Very fun stuff with enough "a-ha!" moments that felt almost magical. The anti-knight icon was a tad distracting and I would've preferred a version of the puzzle without it, but the puzzle was super solid nonetheless. Thank you very much!

Solving the puzzle was 20min looking for the break-in and 10min fluent solving. I am a bit conflicted, since the solving path was really nice, but the searching felt a bit tedious to me. Still a fun puzzle and a solid 3*.

In spite of the knight icon I forgot it when it was needed :-)

this wasn't too hard, but I think I tried every strategy in the book before I found the correct one.
