Little Killer Princesses
(Eingestellt am 18. Juni 2020, 03:48 Uhr von cam)
This is a follow up little killer version of my previous puzzle. And my very first puzzle with no given digits! You can find the puzzle I made last week using this new constraint here
Ordinary sudoku rules apply. In addition, the number in a box tells you the minimum diagonal distance between another of the same number. In the below example, I have marked the boxes that cannot be 3's in magenta. You'll notice that 1's have no additional constraint and 9's will act like queens. Every other number will behave like something inbetween. In addition, ordinary little killer rules apply: the marked diagonals have the sum shown and digits may repeat in these diagonals.
Here is the puzzle. Enjoy!
Lösungscode: The fourth row followed by the fourth column

Thank you so much for playing the puzzle and providing me with feedback! I love the idea of shading the cells. I agree that little killer clues aren't really my favorite either. That's why I used the 16, 24, and 4 clues ;)

I am still stunned that this was resolvable with such few givens with this constraint. That was a monster puzzle, brilliantly done.

@Grave Thank you so much for your kind words! And I'm glad you finished it. I kept going back and forth about the rating of this puzzle; it's quite challenging. Here's to many more puzzling milestones for both of us in the future.

OMG!! I did it!! My heart wants to jump out of my body right now. I only got into sudoku a few months ago and only tried variant ones a few weeks ago. So this puzzle to me was a huge milestone. Took me 4-5 hours to solve it but I can finally take a rest! Thank you for the puzzle, cam! It was delightful!
