There Can Be Only One

(Published on 17. August 2026, 12:22 by sujoyku)

This puzzle has been set for a recent prompt with “Greatest Lines“ (which were introduced by Dorlir). I am thanking Dorlir and NEWS for testing and wish you joyful solving!

Rules:

- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each Row, Column, and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.

- Greatest Lines: On each line, there is exactly one cell whose value is greater than the sum of any other two cells on that line.

Here you can solve the puzzle online:

Solve on Sudokupad

Solution code: Row 5 from left to right (9 digits in total)

Very nice puzzle. Quite doable, unless you are like me and forget you're doing a sudoku puzzle.

Thank you for your comment, keesh! Yeah, I guess I am guilty of making you do sudoku in this one. :)
I hope you had a fun solve anyway.
