Zipper Duality Pack (6x6)
(Eingestellt am 8. August 2025, 13:32 Uhr von gdc)
A collection of 6x6 puzzles inspired by the zippermania series, which combines zipper lines with various other line constraints (i.e. all lines satisfy two constraints simultaneously). I rarely use the even-length variety of zippers but thought it would be a good idea here. Thanks to the CtC fan discord for testing!
Entropic Lines
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply.
Zipper: Digits an equal distance to the center of a line sum to the same total.
E: The top-left corner contains an even digit (2, 4 or 6).
Entopic: Each run of 3 cells along a line contains a digit from 12, 34 and 56.
Region Sum Lines
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply.
Zipper: Digits an equal distance to the center of a line sum to the same total.
S: The top-left corner contains a square digit (1 or 4).
Region Sum Lines: Box borders divide lines into segments with equal sums.
Renban Lines
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply.
Zipper: Digits an equal distance to the center of a line sum to the same total.
R: The top-left corner contains a rotationally symmetric digit (1, 2 or 5).
Renban: Digits on a line don't repeat and form a single consecutive run when sorted.
Ambiguity
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply.
Zipper: Digits an equal distance to the center of a line sum to the same total.
?: The top-left corner contains any digit (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6).
Ambiguity: Assign each line a different line type from Entropic, Region Sum and Renban. Lines are their assigned type (and zipper lines).
Lösungscode: The bottom row of the last puzzle (ambiguity), left to right (6 digits).

Pretty neat. The difficulty varied wildly for me, with Entropic and Ambiguity being pretty easy, but Renban being near impossible to start.

Given how good these are, I'd say less that your pack was inspired by my series and more that my series was the harbinger of your puzzle pack; you've outshone anything I did with the constraint. Incredible work.
I'd also like to highlight what an amazing you job you did with the visual style here. Simplicity and elegance.

Thank you for this fantastic pack, gdc! I started to like the math once I appreciated how it worked. :)
Super fun solves!
