SONAR (German Whisper/Minesweeper)
(Published on 17. September 2025, 20:00 by damo_89)
The random constraint generator recommended German Whispers and Counting Circles. I think this is what was intended; there are circles and they count something. Consensus testing estimate was 2 to 3 stars. I am going to pitch at 3, but I hope solvers find it easier. Good luck!
- Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1 to 9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box
- German Whisper Minesweeper: A digit in a circle counts the number of digits in the (up to 8) surrounding cells that differ by at least 5 from the digit in the circle
