Empty entropy
(Eingestellt am 22. Juli 2026, 09:05 Uhr von Lithium-Ion)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Each row and each column acts as an entropic line. Any sequence of 3 digits along an entropic line must have a low digit (123), a medium digit (456) and a high digit (789). Within each box, the box number x has to be placed in a cell with a position index that is at most x. Boxes and position indices within boxes are numbered in normal reading order. For example, the cell in row 2 column 7 has position index 4 within box 3. Cells that are diagonally adjacent along a positive diagonal (i.e. a diagonal going from south-west to north-east) contain digits that differ by at least 3.

Very cool puzzle. @Fisherman begs the question of diagonal roping

@vukkarak: I am sorry that along "a positive diagonal" was misleading for you. This rule affects each positive diagonal, not only the main diagonal. I thought that writing "a" instead of "the" was clear enough, but I am happy to hear to you figured it out by yourself.

I first thought it is really just the main positive diagonal, then realized that is not enough. Still after that I was struggling to prove the obvious. So maybe it was just my mistake.

Very nice and fairly approachable puzzle.

Very, very cool! Yes, if you 'see' it, it's a very quick 1* solve, but it's still a highly enjoyable one.
