Repeating The Process

(Published on 10. August 2026, 21:00 by The Pi Guy)

A puzzle inspired by the SudokuCon ‘Setting Saturday’ prompt, as well as a few other things (I’ll leave it to the solver to try and guess what they are). Oh and the lines in the grid look like a satisfied cat, which is kind of fun. This is also my first time setting with these rules so hope they read ok. Happy solving. :)

Sudoku: Put the digits 1 to 9 once each into every row, column & 3 by 3 box.

Palindromes: The digits along each grey line must form a number which is the same forwards & backwards e.g. 123321.

Look & Say Cages: Each cage (an area with a dotted outline) has a clue in the top left. The clues are ‘literal’ clues, to be read left to right in single-digit pairs. Each pair tells you more about the contents of the cage e.g. 0314 -> there are (0) 3s & (1) 4 in the cage.

Puzzle link (SudokuPad)

Solution code: The digits in the following positions, in the order given: Row 4 col 4, 5, 8; Row 6 col 2, 6, 9; Row 8 col 6, 8, 9; Row 9 col 1, 3.

Have changed the solution code so that it’s easier to copy across. Hope that solves the problem.

You could change the solution code to r1c3, r2c7, r3c6, r4c5, etc, and somehow mark or highlight those cells in the grid.

Edit (The Pi Guy): Oh of course, why didn’t I think of that! Many thanks for the suggestion.

This puzzle is much nicer than the unfairly low 75% rating it currently sits at. Personally I rated it "very nice" and would encourage people to give it a play

Edit (The Pi Guy): Thanks for the kind comment, I’m quite surprised by the rating being so low myself. :(

Hi all. Apologies, I wasn’t aware of the feature in SudokuPad that allows you to copy cells and then paste them into the solution code box. I’ll make sure I bear this in mind with future solution codes. If you could go with this one as a one-off, I’d appreciate it. Thanks.
