Erica 11
(Published on 17. November 2025, 17:15 by SennyK)
Hi everyone! To start with, tomorrow's episode will be very easy fog edition of Erica! :-)
But today's Erica requires persistence and crayons of course, in my opinion it is really approachable though! :-)
I hope you will enjoy and I would be really grateful for all the comments and ratings.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
German whisper: Neighbouring/adjacent digits along a green line have a difference of at least 5.
X/V: Digits in cells joined by an X sum to 10. Digits in cells joined by a V sum to 5. Not all Xs and Vs are given.
Entropic: Any sequence of 3 adjacent digits along a peach line must have a low digit (123), a medium digit (456) and a high digit (789).
Entropic Line Explanation:
Basically, if one digit on the line is low, then every third digit will also be low; same applies for the remaining groups.

I am fairly experienced, so I knew the tricks required. Nevertheless, the interactions among the tricks are subtle, and I found it very easy to make mistakes. Therefore I rated it 4 stars.

I got stuck multiple times. I still have a long way to grow in my Sudoku skills. Wonderful design. Thank you.

Thank you for this 11th Erica, fun as always!
If Erica 9 is a 3*, I would consider this one as 1 or 2* tho
SK: Thanks for solving! Erica 9 was initially set by me as 4*
