Carnation -- Old Florists' Eight
(Published on 9. July 2026, 04:23 by brichmond)
Carnation
Old Florists' Eight ⬥ No. 7 of 8 ⬥ v26.07.1
| XV | Sandwich | Ripple Cells |
The Carnation, that noble flower, reveals its full character only to those who
possess both patience and discernment. Its petals, finely serrated as though
trimmed by a court tailor, unfold in deliberate ceremony, each day granting
some new refinement of form. It is a bloom for the cultivated mind,
demanding years of constancy before it consents to perfection.
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- XV: Digits in cells joined by an X sum to 10. Digits in cells joined by a V sum to 5.
- Sandwich: Digits between the 1 and the 9 in a row or column sum to the clue given outside that row or column.
- Ripple Cells: A ripple cell shows how many of its orthogonal neighbors are consecutive with it (differ by 1 from the ripple cell's own digit). The icon indicates this count, with a small number for clarity. The count is exact: every other orthogonal neighbor is not consecutive with it.

Lovely! The ripple cells were interesting to play with, and they interacted nicely with everything else going on in the puzzle.
