It's Gonna Be a Long Knight
(Eingestellt am 16. Februar 2021, 07:04 Uhr von cam)
The proper name for this puzzle's constraint probably has something to do with taxicab numbers, but I prefer "long knight." Essentially, this is a knight's move constraint with an extra cell. In the explanation image below, none of the green cells can be a 7.

Very nice one! Great break-in and overall a smooth solve. Difficulty is closer to 3 stars, but it's now up to solvers I guess :)

A really nice variation but also a huge hindrance since I've done so much knight sudoku that I kept almost making silly mistakes but once I found the break-in it was smoother sailings. Great puzzle and logic.
Thank you very much! I also made several near-mistakes myself when I first started constructing it.
