(re)shuffled

(Eingestellt am 10. September 2025, 22:39 Uhr von filuta)

Last week I posted a different vestion of this puzzle, but based on the feedback, I came to the conclusion I need to shuffle the cages (and the dots) a bit more. Apologies to everyone who solved the previous (now deactivated) version - unless you had a great time solving it, in which case, well..., I'm happy you had a great time solving it.

Once again, the ruleset is inspired by puzzles by dureu and Raumplaner. And once again big thanks to Andrewsarchus for testing.

Enjoy!





Rules:

(sudoku) Fill the grid with digits 1 to 9 without repeats in any row, column or a box.
(kropki) Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive, digits separated by a black dot have ratio 2:1.
(cages) Each cage can be placed without rotation in the 3x3 number pad -
123
456
789
- containing exactly the same digits, but not necessarily in the same position.

example: the figure below shows all possible fillings of a vertical 2-cage




solve in sudokupad
version as in the figure above
flipped version for flipped num pad (if you prefer)


Lösungscode: row 1 (or row 9 in the flipped version)

Very hard to find what to look for, but feels great after doing so

The break-in took some time, but afterwards the solve path was smooth. Thanks for sharing.

BTW, since the 0 on the number pad felt a bit left out: This is my 1000th logged solve on LMD, and I‘m still amazed by all the variety of new and interesting rulesets and interactions that are possible with a few digits on a square grid.

@Jade_pv
note that the digits in cages don't have to be in the exact same position as in the numpad (the numpad only determines the digit composition)

I remember solving this ruleset, but I'm having a tough time with this one. Am I wrong in concluding that r6c5 should be 1/2/3? If so, r6c4 would be 1/2/3/4 and then the cage won't fit in the numpad. What is going on???????
