Sudoku Variants Series (260) - Sudoku Loop

(Published on 2. July 2019, 00:00 by Richard)

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

Sudoku Loop
Apply classic sudoku rules. Draw a single closed loop over the grid lines that doesn’t touch or overlap itself. All even digits are placed outside the loop, all odd digits are placed inside the loop.

Inspiriation for this type comes from Italian Sudoku Championship 2019.

Solve online in Penpa+ (thanks Nick Smirnov!)

Solution code: Row 3, followed by column 8.

Draw the loop using Edge (Normal - Thicker) mode. You can use 'Tab' button to switch between Edge and Sudoku modes. Colouring is available if you push 'V' button in Sudoku mode.
