Sudoku Shifter Lines - Search 5
(Published on 25. August 2025, 00:00 by RobertBe)
This puzzle was first published on WCPN (World Class Puzzles from the Netherlands) on 7 August 2025 and published here with permission.
This puzzle was inspired by gUBBLOR.
Apply classic sudoku rules. On the red Shifter lines numbers in the same region have equal parity (odd/even) and low/high indication (1-4, 6-9). If the Shifter line crosses a border region, either the parity or the low/high indication changes, but not both. There are no 5s on shifter lines. Numbers are allowed to repeat if classic sudoku rules allow. Arrows point to one or more 5s. The number in the arrow is the distance to the nearest 5 in that direction.
