Consecutive Killers III
(Eingestellt am 7. August 2026, 15:00 Uhr von RedBarchetta)
Rules – Normal Sudoku / Normal Variant Rules Apply.
Consecutive Cages – Draw a single orthogonal line (no diagonal movement) that does not loop (line only) or intersect itself and passes through all cells and each cage exactly once. It must pass through all cells in each cage, and it may only enter and leave a cage once. The line must pass through consecutive cage values. As the line progresses, so do the cage values. (Consecutive Killer Cages) The line may not cross the white dot.
Killer Cages – Digits in cages do not repeat and sum to the value (*NOT* given) in the top left cell of the cage.
Kropki Dots – Digits on white dots are consecutive.
Positive Diagonal – Digits may not repeat on the blue diagonal line.
Commentary Corner – The third installment in this exercise. For those that completed one and two, this is an obvious extension. For those new to this - clear hints are given in the link where Mark ("pencil-Mark") solves puzzle 2 on CTC. Link below.
Enjoy! - Final possible two variants coming soon.

It looks like the rules on this page mention that the line may cross the white dot, but the rules once you're in the actual sudoku don't.

Updated to 4 star based on feedback and I agree - I forgot to change it. Thanks for the feedback!

Very nice, for me harder than 3 stars, but lines and pencil marks are hard together for readability, so my scanning was pretty lousy. I experienced one pretty hard step near the end. Thanks!

A pleasure from start to finish! Found my way around pretty easily (math helps), keeping track of cage values and then cell possibilities with just pencil marks gets a little tedious but it kept me interested the whole way through.
I'll likely try the others and keep an eye out for more like this!

Great puzzle, but a bit tougher than 3*. The path is quite easy to find but some steps after that are from another level.
