Thermo Unicorn 3 v2
(Published on 14. May 2026, 19:24 by NurglesGift)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Any two cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit.
Digits on thermos must increase from the bulb.
Additionally, cells a knight's move away from a thermo bulb cannot contain any of the digits on that thermo. (see example below)
--------------------------------
Feel free to recommend this puzzle to anyone.
Feel free to take special rules for your own puzzle.
Feel free to give feedback.
Bless you!
---------------------------------
Example
Thermo A and B is correct and can see each other even tho both have an 3 and 4 in common, as neither 3 or 4 is in the bulb
Thermo D would be able to see thermo C bulb, but thermo C bulb can not see thermo D bulb, as the 4 in thermo C will see the 4 in thermo D with knight's move
I hope the rules are clear, if not, please tell me.
Solution code: give the digits of column 6 (top to bottom)

I really like your puzzles and this was a tough but fun one. The example though is really confusing, the rules were much clearer without that weird example.

Very enjoyable!
But I don't find the example instructive, because it suggests, that it's only about digits on a thermometer. The written rules ("cells a knight's move away from a thermo bulb cannot contain any of the digits on that thermo.") are clear enough. I confused myself when I looked at the example.

Incorrect answer in sudokupad，but correct answer in LMD

hm, the puzzle itself wasn't too hard IMHO (3*)
BUT the fact that sudokupad marked it as incorrectly solved tripped me off ;-)

I am getting r3c8 as 3 and r5c6 as 8 but it isnt checking the solution. R3c8 as 8 seems to be the solution here but then there is rule conflict.

maybe 3* but put it as 4* just to be safe :)
