Dutch Angles
(Eingestellt am 14. Mai 2025, 16:20 Uhr von ChinStrap)
Set for a Scojo setting prompt for Dutch Whispers. My goal was to figure out what makes them more than just annoying German Whispers, so I settled on this. Thanks to all testers, and I hope you enjoy!
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Dutch Whisper Lines: Adjacent digits on an orange line must have a difference of at least 4.
- Numbered Rooms: All outside cells on a clue must contain a digit. That digit must also appear in the Nth position looking into the grid in the row/column, where N is the digit in the first position.
All feedback (positive or critical) appreciated!
Lösungscode: Row 3, left to right (9 digits)

This felt like revealing the sculpture from the marble block!

Took me a long time over a few sessions, but the interactions here are surprising, making for a sublime puzzle, logically as well as aesthetically. I would argue this is just as much a discovery as it is creation of a puzzle.

This was sublime. An absolute joy to solve.

This was fantastic! Just look at that unfilled grid. So elegant. This was my first numbered rooms puzzle, but I found it came quite intuitively to me. The way it all bounced around the triangles, inside and outside of the grid, was absolutely gorgeous, with many satisfying moments. The break-in stumped me for a while but was a lovely feeling of achievement once I'd had the relevant realisation. Possibly my new favourite ChinStrap puzzle, and not an index line in sight!

Updated link to fix missing line issues some folks were having

Nice puzzle, which I found rather difficult.
Maybe it's because I have an old computer, but for me SudokuPad doesn't show the orange lines; I had to add them using the pen tool. Does anyone else have the same problem?

ChinStrap: I've fixed the link to remove the white outlines which should make it work for you. I had one other report like this. Can you give me browser details to help report a bug about this?

Thanks; the new link works for me. I'm using Firefox version 78.150esr (64-bit) under Mac OS X 10.11, which is probably too old for anyone to care about a bug report.

I still feel awkward when it comes to Numbered Rooms.
But with your help, I could do it. :)
Thank you, ChinStrap!
