Heat Death (irregular, entropic lines, arrows)

(Published on 3. November 2026, 16:54 by Chilly)

Following on with my schedule of publishing back catalogue puzzles interspersed with newer trickier puzzles, here is one I worked on a few years ago when I was experimenting with entropic lines. Please enjoy.

    The Rules:

  • Normal irregular Sudoku rules apply.
  • Entropic lines: any set of three cells on a line must contain one low digit (1 to 3) one medium digit (4 to 6) and one high digit (7 to 9).
  • Arrows: digits on an arrow must sum to the digit in the corresponding circle.

3 for me, tricky to find a good notation for three entropies, each entropy individually, and this cell is the same as this cell. Very fun to resolve at the end.
