For the 2025 Secret Satan (like Secret Santa for people on the naughty list) I was tasked with providing a puzzle for Nordy.

This is not that puzzle.

This puzzle serves as a more easily handled example for the main event to follow.


Click image to play.

Shade some cells and fill all unshaded cells with a digit from 1-6.

No digit may repeat within a row or column.

Each cage contains a set of all the digits and a shaded cell.

Clues outside the grid give the sums of connected groups of digits in the row/column in order.

A ? may represent any digit from 0-9 except 6.

No number may begin with 0.

Inequality symbols between clues show that one clue is less than the other (a < b means that a is less than b).

For any row/column either all or no clues are given.

Happy solving! Here you can solve the puzzle online:

This is not the hardest puzzle in the world. This is just a tribute. -- Tenacious D

Loved this! Don’t shy away from the main event… yes, it’s a Satan puzzle, but it’s the good type of torture :)

I enjoyed it a lot. Should have read the rules more carefully because I totally missed that a ? couldn't be a 6 and was wondering how the end was ever gonna resolve
