Archer's Reconnection: Extended Connect Four

(Eingestellt am 11. März 2023, 10:15 Uhr von Playmaker6174)

The last days have been quite tiring for me so I wanted to do something to cheer myself up a bit before the big things in the future, and then I revisited my upcoming puzzle plans. However, the first plan hasn't gone so well and there are so much issues involved so clearly I need more time to polish and complete it. For the second one... well...

For this one, I revisited my good old arrow variant and decided to play around and then I actually discovered some funny tricks, which lead to this cool result. The puzzle shouldn't be so challenging, but let's see how it goes:



Rules:

- Normal Sudoku rules apply: every row, column and 3x3 box contains digits from 1 to 9 each once.

- Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in the circle cell attached to that arrow. Digits along an arrow can repeat if allowed by other rules.

- Letters A,B,C,D are mysterious digits that need to be deduced (note that it's possible that some of the letters may represent the same digit).

- A circle surrounded by four cells is a quadruple clue, i.e digits represented by letters in a circle surrounded by four cells must appear in those four cells.

Good luck and have fun solving!

Lösungscode: Row 5 (left to right) and column 4 (top to bottom), 18 digits long with no space

Got one question on the rules. Even if two letters may indicate one number, I assume that if they are in a quadruple clue (e.g. AB in box 2), those can't be the same and there are in fact A AND B in the four squares around the clue, right?
——
Yup, A and B in this case are different by the definition of the quad clue. The note was added in to clarify some cases like, for example, A and D can be the same.
