Pointed Whisper Loop
(Eingestellt am 1. Dezember 2023, 21:15 Uhr von yttrio)
This puzzle is the start of a loop series that uses arrow clues.
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1 to 9 in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in that arrow's bulb.
Draw a one-cell-wide loop of orthogonally connected cells. The loop may not touch itself, not even diagonally.
-- All arrow bulbs must be on the loop.
-- The digit in an arrow bulb gives the total number of loop cells in the 3x3 box containing the bulb.
-- The loop acts as a German Whispers line (i.e., adjacent digits on the loop must have a difference of at least 5).
6x6 Example:
The image below shows a sample 6x6 puzzle and solution with the same rule set.
Note: For 6x6 Sudoku, adjacent digits on a German Whispers line must have a difference of at least 3 (instead of the usual 5)

Lösungscode: Row 9

This seemed daunting at first, but then the loop just kept growing organically, and things fell into place much more quickly than I had expected. A masterpiece!

I started this puzzle wondering how or if I'd be able to reach the solution (loop sudokus are awesome, but I find them very daunting). Then it just started making sense and I was able to start adding in digits! Great puzzle, thank you :-)
