Tree-Spotting
(Published on 11. September 2026, 02:20 by j0bs)
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Kropki Fruit: Two digits separated by a white fruit are consecutive; two digits separated by a black fruit have a 1:2 ratio. Not all fruits are necessarily given.
Tree-momethers: Along tree trunks, digits increase from the roots.
Killer Tree: In each cage of the Killer Tree, digits must not repeat and sum to the number in the upper left corner of the cage.
Look-and-Say Tree: In each cage of the Look-and-Say Tree, the number in the upper left corner tells how many times a digit appears in that cage. For example, a 12 would mean there is one 2 in that cage.
There is one of each tree :)

I misunderstood rules (one look and say cage per tree rather than one tree is killer and one is l&s) and was wildly confused when i kept hitting the wall. Totally my fault, the puzzle itself was great!

I have not understood look ad say tree
——————
j0bs: For look-and-say clues, instead of using the number as-is, you read each digit out loud. For example: we’d normally read 14 as “fourteen”, but if it’s a look-and-say clue, it reads “one four” instead, meaning there is exactly one 4 in that cage.
This means you could have some very unusual clues! 1234, reading “one two three four”, indicates the cage contains one 2, and three 4s.
