Sudoku Variants Series (202) - Letter Killer Sudoku

(Published on 10. October 2017, 00:00 by Richard)

For this Sudoku Variants Project I have planned to publish a different Sudoku variant every Tuesday. I will see how long it takes before I am running out of ideas.

Letter Killer Sudoku
Place the digits from 1 to 9 in every row, column and 3x3-block. Each of the letters A-F corresponds to a distinct digit from 0 to 9. A question mark replaces a single digit from 0 to 9.The numbers (encoded by letters and question marks), on the top-left corner of a dotted outlined area are equal to the sum of this area's digits. No digit can repeat within such an area.

This puzzle can be solved using logic only. For learning purposes I have written the first few logical steps in case you solved the puzzle with guessing.

Solve online in F-Puzzles or CtC-app (thx Nick Smirnov!)

Solution code: Row 1, followed by column 2.

Ganz tolles Rätsel und am Ende leichter als meine Steuererklärung.

Sehr schön! Ich bin allerdings immer neugierig, ob Richard auch Sudokus erschaffen kann, die ich nicht zunächst mindestens zweimal zum Widerspruch führe. ;-)))

@JonaS2010
Danke. Sorry, hätte ich auch drauf kommen können. Aber ich versuchs mal ohne T und E. :)

@WAW: T&E steht für trial and error, also Versuch und Irrtum ;)

Was heißt denn T und E?
