German Sums 3 (Sandwich Edition)
(Published on 2. April 2026, 14:50 by SennyK)
I am happy to share with you another episode of German Sums constraint :-)
Tester's estimated difficulty 1.5*
I hope you will enjoy and I would be really grateful for all the comments and ratings.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
All clues are both Sandwich and German Sums.
German Sums: A clue outside the grid gives the sum of all adjacent digits with a difference of at least 5 up to (and not including) the first digit with a difference of 4 or less in that row or column from the direction of the clue. A digit in the first cell is always included in the sum.
For example, if row 4 is 728315469, then the sum would be 20 (7+2+8+3) from the left side and 9 from the right side.
Sandwich: A clue outside the grid gives the sum of the digits appearing between the 1 and the 9 in that row/column.

Lovely puzzle! For me, it is 3* difficulty, but no doubt about 5* for beauty. Thank you, SennyK!
