Three-legged Dog

(Eingestellt am 9. November 2022, 19:45 Uhr von Abdul the Killer)

In the completed grid cells containing values exactly one greater than an immediate neighbour (diagonally or orthogonally) in their box are shaded.

The shaded cells form a single orthogonally connected region, as do the unshaded cells.

No 2x2 region is wholly shaded or unshaded.

Four shaded cells are given.

Otherwise, standard Sudoku rules apply.

Wow, that was so hard to solve. I got stuck so many times. Lovely puzzle by the way, love that ruleset!

Loved this puzzle. Such a satisfying yin yang. You seem to have some very loyal solvers, based on the comments and the pretty consistent solve counts. I’m another one. I’ve gone back to solve all your puzzles. It’s been a great couple of weeks and I have just two left! Thanks so much, your work deserves a bigger audience!

---Your comments are greatly appreciated. As for the loyalty of my solvers, it is that loyalty that persuades me that I must be doing something right in my puzzles (because honestly if one were to judge by number of solves and/or rating they're decidedly average).

Good luck with the final two (and the others to come, I hope).

Wow Abdul!.. This was the last one of all of your published puzzles that I have solved!.. It's been the hardest but absolutely the best!.. Thank you for being a genius

---Hey Chelo, I think that puts you in an elite group of three. Thank you for all your solves and all your comments, they are always appreciated.

Thanks is probably due to my dumb good luck rather than my genius :)

Thank you a lot for this puzzle. It was quite hard.
If I hadn't familiarized myself with this ruleset by doing other puzzles of yours, I wouldn't be able to solve this one.
But once you are in, it is quite fun to hunt for the next piece of logic and there is always something to discover. Well done.

---Thank you, that's very kind of you to say. ---ATK

turning the rules around and making the player find the shaded cells definitely makes for an other type of interesting puzzle. thanks

---Agreed, I think it works quite nicely in my puzzle Origin of Symmetry too.

Thanks for your comment.

Very nice puzzle!

Every single digit I entered in the end phase left me terrified, I just paused every time to make sure I hadn't broken anything.

---
I'd have the same fear. Well done, and thanks for the solve.

This was a very tricky solve. I may not have solved it the right way but in the end I was able to figure it out :) I knew I was close when I realized the relation with the puzzle's title !

---
Well done! I regret that I made this so hard that it's put others off.

I don't believe there is a "right" way to solve anything, getting there is surely what counts. :) --ATK

An absolutely delightful puzzle. But very hard.

@madhupt, thanks -- I made an easier version with four more givens -- perhaps that would have been better.

@StefanSch, I really like it myself, I'll be back with more similar
