VariantDoku Daily Puzzle: June 20
(Published on 20. June 2026, 10:37 by Brandy New)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-6 once each in every row, column, and 2x3 box.
Killer: digits inside a caged region must not repeat and sum to the total shown in the corner.
Thermometer: digits must strictly increase along each thermometer, starting from the bulb.
Kropki: digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio (i.e. one digit is double the other). Not all dots are necessarily given.
Digits may not repeat along marked diagonals.
Solve in VariantDoku (iOS) or on SudokuPad.
Solution code: Enter the digits of row 5.

I want to write another comment. I don't agree that every sudoku is a gift. Nowadays, with software, you can create at least 100 sudoku of this quality a day. If the number of such sudoku on the site keeps increasing, it will become garbage, and we'll gradually stop visiting, right? Criticism improves the author's skill and improves the overall quality of the site. No one said anything rude. Everyone here is smart. Don't be afraid to be honest. It can be done politely.

Every puzzle someone creates and puts on this site is a gift. If people didn't do that, this site wouldn't exist, and your life would be a little less enjoyable. If you don't like the gift, that's fine. But you can still be gracious and thankful rather than complaining that it doesn't suit you personally.

It’s truly awful, isn’t it, that someone puts time into puzzles for us, labels them consistently so we know roughly what we’re getting, and dares to make them easy?
Thank you Brandy New for continuing to give us approachable puzzles.

Took me 12 minutes.

Fun challenge if you don’t allow yourself to use any pencil marks… but otherwise just another typical super easy average puzzle like we get everyday.

Much easier than the other ones. Just over 3 minutes including stroking the cat.
