Fair and square

(Published on 23. April 2025, 13:45 by sujoyku)

This is the second of three puzzles that I have set for jsgaviota in the Secret Santa Event 2024.
I wish you joyful solving!

- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column, and 3x3 box has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.

- Killer cages: Digits in a cage sum to the clue in the top left.

- German Whispers: Adjacent digits on a green line must have a difference of at least 5.

Here you can solve the puzzle online:

Solve on Sudokupad

Solution code: Column 5 from top to bottom (9 digits in total)

Wonderful logic and flow in this one! The GW square logic paired with the killers was just fantastic!

Definitely at the challenging end of 2* but the puzzle had excellent flow and direction. I didn’t always know what to do, but I usually knew where to do it.

Sehr schöne Konstruktion! Doch ganz so leicht wie offenbar die Mehrheit fand ich es nicht. (2* von mir.) Vielen Dank für das tolle Puzzle!

**
Sehr gern geschehen, Franjo, vielen Dank für deinen Kommentar! Ich denke auch, dass die Schwierigkeit bei (mindestens) 2 Sternen liegen sollte. Es freut mich, dass Dir das Rätsel gefallen hat.
Herzliche Grüße, sujoyku

well, it's CLEARLY difficulty 2.5, but when i entered that, i kept getting the message "not a valid sujoyku digit". am i missing something ?

**
Thank you for your comment, VitP! That is indeed odd ... :)
I initially set difficulty to 2 stars, but I think I can agree with your suggested 2.5.
Kind regards, sujoyku

A bit trickier than I expected! Very fun!

**
Thank you for your comment, PinkNickels! I am glad you had a fun solve. Considering difficulty, I might have put it a bit too low. Let us see if it stays at 2 or lands at 3 stars instead.
Kind regards, sujoyku
