Sudoku Variants Series (462) - Hitlines
(Eingestellt am 10. April 2026, 06:00 Uhr von Richard)
Für dieses Sudoku-Varianten-Projekt habe ich geplant, jede Woche eine einzigartige Sudokuvariante zu veröffentlichen.
Hitlines
Dieses Rätsel ist von Ratfinkz inspiriert.
Solve online in Sudokupad.
Hinweis:
Natürlich kann das Rätsel rein logisch gelöst werden, aber es gibt ein spezielles Kästchen, das eine Schlüsselrolle im Lösungsprozess spielt.
Ich werde sehen wie lange es dauert bis mir die Ideen ausgehen.
Verwende die üblichen Sudoku-Regeln.
Ziffern auf Linien, die von Pfeilen ausgehen, müssen alle verschieden sein. Die Zahl in dem angefügten Kreis oder der angefügten Pille gibt die Summe aller Ziffern an, die mit ihrer Position auf der Linie übereinstimmen. Zweistellige Zahlen in Pillen müssen von links nach rechts gelesen werden.
Z.B. stünde vor einer Linie mit den Ziffern 925416 eine Pille mit dem Hinweis 12, da die Ziffern 2, 4 und 6 auf der gleichen Position stehen, und die Ziffern 9, 5 und 1 nicht.
Lösungscode: Spalte 1

Lovely puzzle with a constraint that really resonates with me.
@Richard, for what it’s worth it was a 15 minute solve for me. Buttery smooth, and the step you are referring too is very fair (1.5/5 difficulty) logic for the constraint.

The fact that a lot of players are looking for low hanging fruit is the logical result of the rating system where a 1* puzzle gets the same stats as a 5* puzzle. This offers quite a number of players the opportunity to boost their stats on 1 star puzzles (and fog puzzles) only ... and there are enough of those puzzles/players. Maybe rethink the rating system? Weighed rating?
@Richard: don't change anything to your setting "by logic only". It's highly appreciated.

It is such an enormous contrast: sometimes I am lyric about a step I build in some of my sudokus, and then after a day of solves looking at the ratings and I am so disappointed...
This one is no exception. This is not a 90%-puzzle, but one high in the nineties!
The problem consists of two parts:
1. of course our infamous notorious downgrader that we all know;
2. people who don't find the logic; need to guess and give a lower rating as a result.
If I say that this puzzle can be solved by logic alone, it CAN be solved by logic alone; you just may look a bit further, but than the rewards are high.
But I seriously have to rethink about what kind of puzzles I will publish in the future; it looks like the players are looking for low hanging fruit; simple puzzles that you can rush through instead of the ones that need a bit more thoughts.
In this case: if you found the spot I mentioned, you can put it as a generalized solve step in your tool box for future solves; there is something to learn, so to say...
I have put the specific step in a hidden comment for those who are interested.

Got a box and most of a row, but stalled soon after. There's just so many possibilities left, and I'm having one hell of a time narrowing them down.
Fun while it lasted, though!

Thank you very much for creating and sharing another beautiful SVS-puzzle. Absolutely amazing how this unfolds.

Was worried I'd broken it at the start as I thought the hitline starting position was the tip of the arrow - had to refer to the original problem to find it was the other way. Might be worth clarifying this in the rules? (As this variant doesn't have diamonds or pointers like the others to specify position 1)
