Erica 41 (Dual Entropic Edition)
(Eingestellt am 16. März 2026, 15:00 Uhr von SennyK)
Today Erica explores the interactions between German whisper lines and entropic lines, testers' estimated difficulty 3.5* :-)
I hope you will enjoy and I would be really grateful for all the comments and ratings.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Every line is dual German whisper and entropic line.
German whisper: Adjacent digits along a green line have a difference of at least 5.
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). For lines shorter than 3 cells, each digit must belong to a different entropic group.
Kropki dots: Digits in cells joined by a white dot are consecutive. Digits in cells joined by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio (i.e., one digit will be double the other). Not all dots are necessarily given.
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.

this requires very careful scanning, a lot of goodliffing, and basic standard procedures. that means it's well within level 2.
the only hint a beginner will need is that it's very difficult to put MEDIUM digits on these lines.
