Chained Killer Sudoku no. 2
(Published on 21. February 2020, 22:48 by Shinya)
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Every dotted cage may contain every number only once. The sums of digits in cages connected by a chain link differ by exactly 1. Neighbouring cages with sums different by 1 may or may not be connected by a chain link. If cells are connected by a "bigger than" symbol, the open side indicates the bigger number.
Solution code: Row 6, Column 5

Glad to hear that you liked it! I'm always a bit surprised when someone picks up one of the "old" puzzles. I checked - and to the day it was one year since this was last solved!

Wow, really nice puzzle! I love cozy, intricate killer logic with multiple overlapping parts, and this puzzle is exploding with it. Every pencil-mark and resolution felt well-earned. It wasn't as hard as your first Chained Killer but it didn't need to be; the loop of cages introduced some very enjoyable ideas. An absolute joy from start to finish :) Thanks!

Yes, definitely - but I wanted to construct a puzzle with a circular loop, and that did not leave as much room for creative ideas. And not every puzzle needs to be as hard as the first chained killer sudoku or the prime killer sudoku ;-)

Much easier than the first Chained Killer Sudoku you published, in my opinion! Still a nice construction, though.
