Beyond (Nurikabe Sudoku)
(Eingestellt am 15. Juli 2025, 20:10 Uhr von MaizeGator)
This puzzle is a sequel to the very first 9x9 sudoku that I set and published to this portal. It follows the exact ruleset as the original, but features deeper and more interesting logic (hopefully!).
- Sudoku: Fill each cell with a digit 1-9 such that each digit appears exactly once in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Nurikabe: Shade some cells (representing water) such that all shaded cells are orthogonally connected, but never fully cover a 2x2 area. Groups of orthogonally connected unshaded cells form islands. Two separate islands cannot touch one another orthogonally, but may touch diagonally.
- Killer (variant): Digits may not repeat on an island. Each island contains exactly one numbered clue, which gives the product of the sum of the digits on the island and the size (number of cells) of the island, e.g. an island filled with 346 is would have a '39' clue (13x3). A '?' may represent any number (not necessarily single-digit).
- Arrows: A cell with arrow(s) may be land or water, and the digit gives the total number of island cells in the indicated directions combined, not including itself. Not all arrows are given.
Lösungscode: Shaded (water) cells in Row 5

This is a very very enjoyable puzzle! After the rather beautiful break-in, there were so many moments of great satisfaction the way the pencil marks interacted with islands. It’s quite stunning how it all falls into place in the end. Every clue came into its own right till the end. Thanks for sharing this.

Fabulous puzzle! I really loved the incredibly clever break-in and the magical R2C9 clue. Then the solve kept on being challenging and great fun. Thank you

Great puzzle! It looks unassuming, but I personally found it to be the most difficult MaizeGator puzzle since Cyclone.
