Put 85 Into 81
(Published on 10. June 2026, 05:15 by EPH)
Standard sudoku rules apply: each row, column, and 3x3 box must contain all the digits from 1 to 9.
XV clues: digits separated by an X sum to 10; digits separated by a V sum to 5.
Renban: digits on a pink line are a non-repeating set of consecutive digits, in any order.
Solution code: Enter row 4.

Lovely symmetry and loving the break in, unfortunately it took me a while to think of coloring, but afterwards it was a nice solve!

I’ve been working on this interesting puzzle for several days. I made some headway and then got stuck. Oh, well! I can only solve 1-star puzzles so this might be 1.5 or 2, but it’s subjective of course. Thank you!

Great puzzle! Very cool break in with the renban lines and the digit 5. I recommend coloring to solve this puzzle. Thanks for setting.

Nice one. I agree with RockyRoer.

This was great fun. Very easy if you are reasonably familiar with renbans and coloring XV puzzles.

Fun puzzle. Anything that requires some coloring suggests 2* for me.
