Strange Dream
(Published on 2. April 2025, 08:11 by juggler)
This 6x6 Sudoku is dreaming about being a 9x9 Sudoku. Let's not wake it up :)
Place a digit from 1-9 in each cell so that each digit appears exactly once in every row, column, and box. (For clarity, there are 6 rows, 6 columns, and 54 cells in the puzzle).
THERMO - Digits increase along thermometer lines, starting from the bulb.
KILLER - Digits may not repeat in the cage.
SILENT LITTLE KILLER - Each cell with an arrow contains the sum of the digits on the diagonal pointed to by the arrow.
Solution code: Row 6 (9 digits)

Cool puzzle, very fun. Forunately this was quite easy as I suspect a more difficult puzzle with this setup would get annoying do to being hard to notate the small cells.
(Also, the 'Silent little killers' are entirely equivalent to some standard arrows in this case)

Sensational! The corner marks work very well for the dream cells.

The creativity of the grid structure is amazing. And the solve path itself is very nice.

The puzzle is full of fun, but the fact that you can’t take note for the small cells just drive me crazy

This one was so much fun! The fun second use of corner marks also was very enjoyable

Fabulous. It's a shame that the software limitations don't allow for the small boxes to be independently fillable, but that doesn't take anything away from the puzzle.
Witty and a fun solve.

Brilliant puzzle, so original! Took me a while to understand how the grid was supposed to work
