Zodiac Recap (6x6 pack)

(Eingestellt am 23. Juli 2025, 14:09 Uhr von gdc)

This weeks setting chllenge by marty sears was about creating a "puzzle hunt" with a theme. I decided to create miniature versions of some zodiac puzzles. The descriptions below show the name of the original author (of the 9x9 versions). Thanks to the original authors and the CtC fan discord for testing my rip-offs :). Hope you enjoy!

Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply.
Disjoint: Every star contains a different digit.

Remarks

If you want to play the 9x9 puzzles, they are all linked in this puzzle. The rulesets were all simplified in my miniatures, so please re-read the rules carefully when solving the 9x9 puzzles.

Lösungscode: The top-left cell (r1c1) from each puzzle (1 digit each, 6 digits total)

Does original sin need a rule that paths cannot split? I ended up making that assumption

gdc: The way I see it, paths are non-branching by definition. But yes, you need that property.

Just finished the rest of the pack and it was very nice! Especially liked the galaxies as I've never done a puzzle with that region restriction. Thanks!

Wow, incredible pack! The puzzles are all excellent on their own, but knowing they are intended as homages elevates them even higher

A lovely recap/tribute. Definitely an approachable pack but still very enjoyable!

I haven't tried any of the original 9x9 versions but this was a wonderfully set 6x6 puzzle pack. Thanks very much for sharing these!

These were all incredibly enjoyable; and, shockingly approachable, given how hard some of the puzzles were that they're based on. I think I'm most impressed though with how well you managed the feel of each puzzle. You absolutely captured the essence of each one. Stupendous.
