Anti-Anti-Knight II(Whispers/Kropki)
(Published on 23. August 2026, 17:40 by Kutsumi Hane)
Rules:
(This puzzle is a different take on my earlier puzzle: [Anti-Anti-Knight (Whispers/XV/Kropki)])
Normal Sudoku rules apply, requiring that each row, column, and 3×3 box contains the digits 1-9 exactly once. Additionally:
-
·Toroidal Grid:
The grid wraps around both horizontally and vertically;
·Anti-Anti-Knight: Every cell has at least one knight-move neighbor with the same digit;
·German Whispers: Adjacent digits on green lines must differ by at least 5;
·Kropki Dots: Black dots indicate a 1:2 ratio between the digits.
Here you can solve the puzzle online:
The difficulty is probably 3-4 stars. I wish you joyful solving!
Hint:
| · | Start with the high-low alternation on each German Whispers line. |
| · | During the solve, it may be helpful to check each cell's candidates against those of its knight-move neighbors – if a digit doesn't appear in any neighbor's candidate list, it can't go in that cell. |
Solution code: Column 9

The amount of toroidal knight moves had my head spinning, but a very ingenious construction I enjoyed quite a bit. Thank you, Kutsumi Hane.
