Sightline Sum Whisper Loop
(Eingestellt am 7. Juni 2025, 01:49 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 a German Whispers line (i.e., adjacent digits on the loop must have a difference of at least 5).
Cells with small numbers in the corner are on the loop. This number gives the sum of all loop cells (including itself) seen from that cell in all horizontal/vertical directions combined, where non-loop cells block the vision. Digits may repeat in a sum if allowed by other rules.
6x6 Example:
The image below shows a sample 6x6 puzzle and solution with the same rule set.
Note: For 6x6 Sudoku, adjacent digits on a German Whispers line must have a difference of at least 3 (instead of the usual 5)
Play the example 6x6 in SudokuPad.
Lösungscode: Digits on the loop in row 4 (left to right) followed by digits on the loop in row 6 (left to right)

WAY too quick & easy to be an yttrio puzzle, but super enjoyable so i guess it is! :)

Another classic example of yttrio doing yttrio things. Loved it.
