Little Killer Windoku

(Published on 2. April 2020, 13:49 by Phistomefel)

This puzzle is my attempt to go as low as possibble with the number of little killer clues. As I believe that it is impossible to beat the 5 clues of Bastien Vial-Jaime's beuatiful construction I tried it with additional constraints. The result of it is this little killer windoku.

In this puzzle, the usual sudoku rules apply. Additionally, the digits in a diagonal pointed at by an arrow, sum up to the number behind the arrow. The digits on a diagonal may repeat. Moreover, in each gray 3x3 box every digits from 1 to 9 appears exactly once.

The puzzle is also available online via F-Puzzles. Have fun solving!

Solution code: 1st and 6th row

The little killer clues were clever when combined with the extra regions to rule things out

Mit ein paar Zahlenvorgaben im Gitter kann man die Anzahl der nötigen Killerhinweise sogar auf 0 reduzieren ;-)

Auch wenn es hier um eine minimale Konstruktion ging, ist der Lösungsweg trotzdem schön geworden.
