Double the Devil you know
(Published on 1. May 2025, 19:27 by Jolly Rogers)
RULES:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Fog: The grid is partially covered in fog. Correctly placed digits will clear fog in that cell and sometimes other cells. No guessing is required.
- Doublers: There is exactly one doubler cell in every row, column and 3x3 box, with each digit from 1-9 appearing once as a doubler. The value of a doubler cell is double its digit.
- Region Sum Lines: All lines in the grid are region sum lines. Each line is a different colour. Box borders divide a line into segments of equal sum (value). Lines only travel orthogonally from cell to cell and do not overlap each other or themselves.
LINKS:
This is the first puzzle I've set involving doublers, hope you enjoy.
Solution code: Column 2 (from top to bottom)

I agree with ostio! Very hard yet very fair and incredibly beautiful. Deserves way more solves and a much higher rating. Thank you for this absolute gem!

Wow, what an amazing puzzle. At first glance I wasn't going to bother as it looked too hard for me, but I found with a lot of perseverance and thought the puzzle slowly began to reveal its secrets. I would honestly says it's one of the best puzzles that I've had the pleasure of coming across and solving' I have no idea how it doesn't have more plays or a higher rating, because it absolutely deserves it. This is a very challenging, but rewarding puzzle. Thanks for setting!
