Diamonds are a Killer's Best Friend
(Eingestellt am 2. Februar 2024, 16:00 Uhr von XeonRisq)
DadJokes and I decided to explore the idea of the "diamond" constraint and this is the outcome of that exploration/brainstorming.
The difficulty is a bit murky, but I would estimate this as a 3-star puzzle with a few key 4-star deductions.

- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Diamonds : All diamond cells contain a friendly digit, which is a digit that matches it's row, column, or box. If a digit exists in a diamond cell, that digit may appear across all diamonds 1 or 3 times only.
- Killer Cages : Numbers cannot repeat in a cage and must sum to the given total in the top left corner.

Took some trial and error to explore how the diamonds affected the puzzle. Fun puzzle, thanks.

Thanks for giving it a try, and of course the feedback on this new twist on a fairly simple constraint type.

Like the puzzles name ;-)

Yeah, I stumbled upon it and knew I had to keep it once it crossed my lips.
