Crypto Japanese Cave / Pentominous
(Eingestellt am 26. Januar 2023, 04:41 Uhr von KNT)
Same letters stand for same digits, different letters for different digits, and ? stands for any digit 0-9, but no clue may have a leading zero.
Divide almost every cell in the second grid into pentominos such that no two pentominos of the same shape may share an edge. Rotations and reflections of the same pentomino are the same shape.
For all circled cells in the second grid, if the cell in the same location of the first grid contains a number, then the letter corresponding to that number in the encoding indicates the shape of the pentomino at the circle in the second grid. If the corresponding cell is empty, then that cell in the second grid contains no pentomino. The only cells in the second grid that are not covered by a pentomino are circled cells corresponding to empty cells in the first grid. Two of the twelve possible pentominos do not have assignments in the encoding, but these pentominos may still appear in the second grid.
A 1-6 example with an encoding for 0-6 is provided.
Lösungscode: Row 9 of the Pentominous, then Column 8 of the Japanese Sums, S for empty cell.

Great puzzle! Really cool ruleset idea too, using pentomino letters as the cipher.

Exceptional puzzle, the logic was crisp and fun all the way through. I thought I had reached a contradiction multiple times but the perseverance was well worth it.

Gorgeous puzzle, it was not so easy for me either, but very enjoyable nonetheless. Thanks :)

A slow and steady solve with a lot of fun deductions throughout. The example puzzle wasn't a pushover either! Thanks for the wonderful puzzles.

Amazing puzzle, as usual. Unlike other people, I found this one to be more difficult than most of the puzzles in this series so far.

First time I've tried a linked grid puzzle and I loved it! Long solve but every bit of logic was progressive and genius.

Superb idea to incorporate pentominoes! A long, enjoyable solve. I'm all for more linked grid puzzles in the series :)

I must note, for each in this series, the examples are not just diagrams, they are real, tested puzzles, and I would feel comfortable posting almost all of them as standalones. So, once again to those interested, but maybe without the full confidence to take on the real ones, the example puzzles should provide adequate fun as well, at an easier level.
