Juzter Mazing
(Published on 20. September 2026, 16:16 by sanabas)
Our rat is so conditioned to running, that he'll charge through any maze he can find, even if it's juzter maze without a reward at the end.
You can attempt this puzzle at
this sudokupad link
Good Luck!Questions, comments, feedback are always welcome, either here or on the CTC community discord.
The rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 exactly once in each row, column and box.
Juzter Maze: The rat starts in the bottom left, and needs to reach the exit on the top right. He can only move orthogonally. Draw a line to represent his path through the maze. This line is juzter line, and does not constrain digits in any way.
Lines that aren't juzter line:
Whisper lines: On green lines, adjacent digits have a difference of at least 5.
Nabner lines: On yellow lines, no two digits can be consecutive or equal. e.g. If one cell on a yellow line is a 5, then no other cell on that line can be 4, 5 or 6.
Renban lines: On purple lines, the digits on the line form a set of consecutive digits with no repeats.
Region Sum lines: On blue lines, box borders split the line into segments. Digits in each segment have the same sum.
Some of my previous puzzles:
+/- x
Four Corners
Russian House
If you enjoy this one, please try them too.
Solution code: All juzter mazing digits from c12. Please put them in left to right, top to bottom reading order rather than the order of the maze. (This means you can highlight all the relevant cells, copy from sudokupad with one click and paste with ctrl-v).

I didn't really like that the maze is really just visual clutter

Today I learned that Sudokupad has a copy function.
For anyone else who doesn't know, there's a setting in Sudokupad to enable a copy button that shows up next to the restart button.

does the gw in box 5 continue under the blue? likewise in boxes 8 and 9 under the purple
-----------
no, there are no overlapping lines. Every segment is a single colour only.
