Eroteme (Circled X-Sums)
(Published on 28. July 2026, 16:00 by Crusader175)
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply.
Diagonal: Digits may not repeat along blue diagonal.
Circled X-Sums: Circle one cell in each row, column, and box. Digits may not repeat on circled cells. Clues outside the grid indicate the sum of the first X digits in the corresponding direction, where X is the digit placed in the circled cell in that row or column. A question mark may represent any digit from 0 to 9, but for double digit numbers, the first digit may not be 0.

Another one that seemed above my pay grade at first, but slowly and kindly opened up as I spent a little time with it. Very beautiful, very fun, and a joyful solution code to boot! Thank you!
