Meta Renban Pack (6X6)
(Published on 9. August 2025, 11:45 by palpot)
This pack was created for Scojo's weekly setting prompt, initiated by Marty Sears, which challenged setters to make a 6X6 pack.
I decided to make a pack revolving the "Meta Renban" rule, and in every puzzle I paired it up with a different line type.
I hope you enjoy solving it!
Solve online:
1. Renban
2. Region Sum
3. Entropy
4. Modular
5. Parity
6. Mix
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 to 6 in each Row, Column, and 2X3 box.
The following standard constraints apply: Renban Lines, Region Sum Lines, Entropy Lines, Modular Lines, Parity Lines, Kropki.
Meta Renban: The digits along each line must sum to a unique number, and the sums of these lines must form a set of consecutive numbers.
Solution code: Digit in row 4 of the last puzzle (Mix), from left to right.

Whow! The first couple were easy, but #3, #4 and #5 were surprisingly tricky!!

This was really cool! Had to take plenty of notes off to the side, and made good use of coloring in more of the puzzles than I expected.
There's a pretty broad range of difficulty here - Entropy and Parity felt like they could be at least on the upper end of 3*, at least together, but Mix was much, much easier.
I think I agree with sujoyku; the pack as a whole is definitely 3-4 stars for difficulty, though Mix alone is probably just 2.
Definitely enjoyed it all the way through, though, and I'm very glad I played them all.

What an incredible pack! I have given 4 stars for difficulty. This was tricky and so cool. I loved how you have to work out the meta renban to get started. And the math was really beautiful as well. Thank you for this treat, palpot!
