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.

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!
