Mini Destruction
(Eingestellt am 17. Oktober 2025, 00:00 Uhr von NXTMaster)
This puzzle is the first in a series where I challenged myself to make a Destruction puzzle for each square grid size from 4x4 to 9x9.
The rules are as follows:
The rules are as follows:
- Place the digits 1-4 once in every row and column.
- Chaos Destruction: All given regions must be "destroyed" by making sure they do not contain all the digits 1-4. The grid also consists of four hidden, orthogonally connected regions that each do contain all the digits 1-4. Digits in circles represent how many of its orthogonally and diagonally adjacent cells, including itself, belong to both the given and hidden regions where the circle resides (i.e., where they overlap).
The puzzle is available on SudokuPad. Have fun destroying!
Lösungscode: Column 3 (top to bottom)

Too difficult for 1*, requires too many bifurcations to find the regions

Thanks for solving. I agree the difficulty is higher than 1* but the intended deductions don't rely too much on bifurcation, just a bit of case-testing at the beginning. It's probably easier to bifurcate since it's a 4x4, though.

The small puzzle forces you to think about max constraints on the circles instead of just minimums. Very nice.
