Sudoku Variant 'BUT's
(Published on 17. August 2025, 19:12 by Jeet Sampat)
I am starting a variant 'BUT' series. The idea is to take two standard variants and combine them in a meaningful way. This week, we have
Arrows but thermos
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
On arrows, digits must sum to the number in the corresponding circle.
Moreover, digits must strictly increase along arrows from the tip of the arrow to the circle.
The white dot separates consecutive digits.
Try it on Sudokupad.
Puzzle:
Solution code: Row 5 (left to right); 9 digits, no spaces.

Not so easy to find the hidden interactions within the symmetry, but it was a rewarding solve overall x)
