VariantDoku Daily Puzzle: October 11
(Published on 11. October 2026, 09:04 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.
Palindrome: digits along a grey line read the same forwards and backwards.
Between line: digits on a line between two circles are strictly between the values in those two circles.
Lockout line: the two diamonds hold different digits, and every digit on the line between them is strictly outside the range spanned by the diamonds.
Kropki: digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio (i.e. one digit is double the other). Not all dots are necessarily given.
Cells connected by a V sum to 5. Not all Vs are given.
Solve in VariantDoku (iOS, macOS, Android) or on SudokuPad.

Another fun one! 6:16 today - mainly as I inverted the diamond/circle rules and ended up in a mess :)

I know it's not a record setting time but did it in 5:45 without checking along the way. So it's very easy, very nice.
