Internal X-Sum Entropic Loop
(Eingestellt am 29. März 2025, 00:26 Uhr von yttrio)
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Draw a one-cell-wide loop of orthogonally connected cells. The loop may not touch itself, not even diagonally.
The loop acts as an entropic line. Each set of three adjacent digits along the loop must be one low [123], one medium [456], and one high digit [789].
Cells with an arrow clue act as internal loop x-sum clues: a digit in a clued cell indicates the sum of the first X digits on the loop in the indicated direction, where X is the digit in the first loop cell in that direction (not including the clued cell itself). X cannot be larger than the number of loop cells in the indicated direction, and the clued cell may or may not be on the loop.
Lösungscode: Digits on the loop in row 7 (left to right) followed by digits on the loop in column 7 (top to bottom)

Very lovely puzzle! Finding the shape of the loop was quite tricky to me; several times i was almost convinced it couldn't be done or that i'd gotten it wrong previously somehow, but NOPE there's a way to do it! :)

Very nice and quite approachable after having solved the Internal X-Sum Whisper Loop, although this one was slightly more challenging. Thanks!
