Knight Mode
(Published on 1. August 2026, 01:08 by lgastako)
I hope you enjoy my latest puzzle. As always, feedback, good or bad, is appreciated so I can do better in the future.
- Normal Sudoku Rules: Fill each row, column, and 3x3 box with the digits 1-9 once each.
- White Kropkis/Black Kropkis: Digits in cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Digits in cells separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio.
- Knight's Move: Cells a (chess) knight's move apart cannot contain the same digit.
- Odd/Even: Digits in gray circles are odd. Digits in gray squares are even.
- X/V: Cells separated by X must sum to 10. Cells separated by V must sum to 5.
Solution code: Column 1, in order, top to bottom.

it's very easy, but very nice as well,
I liked the break in.
One thing though:
since you explicitly mentioned the white kropkis, and nothing in your rules read as "not all XYZ given"
one could argue there are no consecutive digits...
I'd say to clear things up in the future
with each rule (xv, kropkis odd/evens etc..) just a quick note if
"all -A-_given",
"NOT all -B- given" or
"it's on the player to determine if all -C- given or not"
Other than that, nice easy puzzle, fun to solve, no complaints

Thanks for a great anti knight puzzle.
After the initial easy steps using the XVs, it became harder until I remembered how the knight move blocks digits in a neighboring box.
