Mini Snack Break

(Published on 15. April 2025, 01:53 by PhoenixAki)

This puzzle is part of my snackdoku series. Snackdokus are sudoku puzzles that use a 4x4 grid instead of 9x9 and are designed to be very simple and accessible, using minimal rules (usually 1-2 maximum, occasionally more). This one, however, is a bit tougher than a standard snackdoku in that it requires more work to figure out but is still generally approachable overall, in my opinion.

Check out my other puzzles if you like what you see here! You can find them on my user profile here on LMD or you can find links to them in the descriptions of my solution videos for each one on my YouTube channel.

Happy solving!


Rules:
  • Normal 4x4 sudoku rules do NOT apply. Instead, "mean mini" rules apply. The solution uses 4 of the digits from 1-9 once each in each row, column, and 2x2 box. It is up to the solver to deduce what those 4 digits are.
  • Killer Cage: Digits surrounded by a dotted-line cage must sum to the number in the top left of their cage.
  • German Whispers: Adjacent digits on green lines must differ by at least 5.
  • White Dot: Digits connected by a white dot must be consecutive.
Solve on Sudokupad here! Everyone is welcome to solve this on a stream or video, but I would prefer you let me know when such a thing happens so I can check it out (DM me on Discord, same username phoenixaki) :)

Solution code: row 1 from left to right (4 digits)

The clues instantly hive the numbers away if you know how to look at them. About 20 seconds of thinking and another 20 seconds in sudokupad

First time I comment here at LMG.
This was an amazing snack-puzzle. Thought it would be more difficult than it was, as soon as you find how to think about it, it was fantastik puzzle.

Thank you

2.5 minutes after taking time to color. Fun little snack!

Absolutely gorgeous. The break-in seems opaque at first glance but immediately crumbles under any scrutiny. Truly an interesting GAS. Thanks!
