VariantDoku Daily Puzzle: June 17
(Published on 17. June 2026, 11:54 by Brandy New)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-6 once each in every row, column, and 2x3 box.
Killer: digits inside a caged region must not repeat and sum to the total shown in the corner.
Thermometer: digits must strictly increase along each thermometer, starting from the bulb.
Kropki: digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio (i.e. one digit is double the other). Not all dots are necessarily given.
Cells connected by an X sum to 10. Cells connected by a V sum to 5. Not all Xs and Vs are given.
Digits may not repeat along marked diagonals.
Solve in VariantDoku (iOS) or on SudokuPad.
Solution code: Enter the digits of row 1.

the only possible triples for the 12 cage are (2,4,6) and (3,4,5). assuming (2,4,6) leads to a contradiction with R2C6.
