3 Vs: Vexing Venn Vicinities
(Published on 8. August 2026, 09:00 by gadgetgreen)
The 11th puzzle of the "3Vs" series.
Previous puzzles form the series:
X digits in a VxV grid... yeah, why not?
Inspired by the beautiful "XOV" series from The Bard.
Modified "Compressed" Sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 0-9 in the grid so that no digit repeats in a row, column, or box. The grid is compressed and there are four 3x3 boxes who share three cells with each of their neighboring boxes. The center cell is part of all four boxes.
Anti-Knight: cells a chess knights move apart may not contain the same digit.
XV: Digits separated by an X sum to 10, those separated by a V sum to 5.
Kropki Pairs: Digits separated by a black dot must be in a 2:1 ratio.
Solution code: Row 3
