Minimalist diagonals
(Published on 14. December 2022, 21:17 by sujoyku)
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Little killer: Digits on a marked diagonal sum to the clue outside of the grid. (If there is no conflict with other rules, digits may repeat on a diagonal.)
- XV: Digits joined by a V add to 5. Digits joined by an X sum to 10. (Not all V and X are given.)
- Kropki dots: Digits joined by a white dot are consecutive. (Not all dots are given.)
Here you can solve the puzzle online:
Solution code: Row 5 followed by Column 2, from left to right resp. from top to bottom (18 digits in total)

Stunningly good. The small clues play off each other very well, and then the two longer ones became useful much sooner than expected.

Nice puzzle. Plenty of interesting logic to discover inside. BTW, one of te 24 little killer clue was not needed in order to solve the puzzle

Thank you again, apendleton! Your recommended bookmarklet allowed me to create a CTC link very easily. That will also become handy for future uploads.

This was super fun. I always appreciate a puzzle that makes me think but doesn't drag me through the dirt. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good challenge, but this is so approachable and the logic is lovely. Thank you for sharing this wonder puzzle with us!

Thank you for your kind words, Orpheus! I am glad that you enjoyed my puzzle.
Actually, I created it some time ago and then wasn't sure if was good enough for uploading. Only after retesting I decided it was worth sharing. Therefore your feedback is very encouraging for me.
Kind regards, sujoyku

You can go straight from f-puzzles to CTC using the bookmarklets on https://sudokuexchange.com/bookmarklets/f-puzzles-ctc.html

Thank you for your suggestion, apendleton! I'm in a hurry right now, but I will try your prescribed way maybe tomorrow. If I manage to construct a link to CTC, I will add it here.

I managed to construct the puzzle in sudokulab. But after exporting it to CTC, the V and X are not displayed. Can anyone provide explanation or help how to fix it?

Request to add CTC link

Up to now I only have used f-puzzles to construct links. Could anyone help me out: Is it free to create a CTC link or is it necessary to buy the app? How does it work?
Kind regards, sujoyku
