VariantDoku Daily Puzzle: October 8
(Published on 8. October 2026, 09:21 by Brandy New)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-6 once each in every row, column, and 2x3 box.
German whispers: digits along a green line must differ from their neighbours by at least 5.
Renban: digits along a pink line are a set of consecutive non-repeating digits in any order.
Region sum (blue) lines: box borders divide each blue line into segments. All segments on the same line have the same sum; different lines may have different sums.
Palindrome: digits along a grey line read the same forwards and backwards.
Digits may not repeat along marked diagonals.
Solve in VariantDoku (iOS, macOS, Android) or on SudokuPad.
Fastest VariantDoku app times on yesterday's puzzle: 1. 2:06 · 2. 2:33 · 3. 3:52

@geronimo92 Can you see the times of others in the SudokuPad?

@geronimo92 Those are only times recorded in the VariantDoku app(either iOS or Android). I can't validate SudokuPad solve times, so they're not included.

2:37 !! @Hirrumi : maybe you should train more and consider that other solvers are simply much better than you and/or have more experience.... Furthermore yesterdays times are wrong.... three times are under the two minutes
