Ghostly Numbers
(Published on 15. March 2025, 10:00 by Tprecht)
Rules:
Fill the puzzle grid with numbers from 1 to 9. Each possible number may only occur once per row and column.
All the lowest and highest numbers (1 and 9) and all so-called ‘ghostly numbers’ are not given. Ghostly numbers stand within a row or column between a number with a lower value and a number with a higher value. All numbers already given are not ghostly numbers.
Examples, based on a puzzle grid with numbers from 1 to 9:
• In a sequence ‘5-6-8’, the 6 would be missing as a ghostly number.
• In a sequence ‘9-6-2-1’, the 6 and the 2 would be missing as ghostly numbers would be missing, as would the 9 and the 1 as the highest and lowest numbers respectively.
• In a sequence ‘5-6-2-4’, no number would be missing.

Solution code: Row 5, followed by row 6

Der zweite Ghostly Numbers war für mich viel flüssiger zu lösen als der erste. Schöne Rätselidee!

Dafür hab ich echt lange gebraucht. Das Lösegefühl war bei mir angenehm neuartig und noch sehr unsicher. Dagegen könnten weitere solcher Rätsel helfen :).
