Our Differences Bring Us Together
(Published on 17. August 2026, 11:00 by sacker)
On to the next feature in the difference line series, where I played around with consecutive possibilities and a bowling pin arrangement of counting circles. I think the cross-over works well, but please let me know!
Sudoku: Standard rules apply (place the digits 1 to 9 in every row, column, and 3x3 box).
Counting circles: A digit in a circle indicates exactly how many circles contain that digit. (As an example, if there is a 2 in any circle, there are exactly two 2’s in circles in the puzzle.)
Diamond difference lines: The two digits adjacent to a diamond on a line have an absolute difference equal to the digit in the diamond.
Renban lines: Digits along a line form a set of consecutive digits, in any order, with no repeats.
In this puzzle, all lines are simultaneously Diamond difference lines and Renban lines.
